Health Education England (HEE) collect national aggregate level information on the total number of Advanced Practitioners that they commission. This data is not collected to the level requested. In the period 2016/17 the number of Advanced Practitioners commissioned nationally by HEE was 1,000.

Individual trusts will also commission Advanced Practitioners courses which is not included in the HEE data.
