The Action Plan for Identified Leaning Needs is part of the five-yearly portfolio which is required for re-approval. It needs to be completed yearly showing an action plan to address identified learning needs and evidence of how these were met.

This process will start at the point an AMHP Trainee obtains their warrant, where their initial action plan should be devised from any learning needs highlighted from their AMHP trainee portfolio to support the AMHP going into independent practice. The AMHP Panel may also make recommendations about learning.

If a warranted AMHP joins the team any learning needs from their previous role can be transferred. It is the responsibility of the AMHP to complete their ‘Action Plan for Identified Leaning Needs’ and ensure that it is reviewed and updated regularly.

It is the role of the practice supervisor to discuss the ‘Action Plan for Identified Leaning Needs’ with their supervisees and in collaboration agree their learning needs, actions to meet these and provide feedback.

This is a working document that should be revisited after each Practice Supervision Session, AMHP Report Audit and AMHP Peer Practice Review. It should be updated when a development or learning need arises from practice or from feedback.
