MAPs workstream NES - Position regarding ACCP and FICM statement

A joint statement was issued in April 2022 by FICM and HEE,  which confirms that  ACCP will formally align with the Centre for Advancing Practice and no longer be considered as a Medical Associate Profession. Further to this statement, it is confirmed that NES aligns with this position as it continues to progress the Scottish Government Commission regarding MAPs and ACCPS, who will no longer be referred to as a MAP. The activity of the workstream is unchanged.
