This letter to the Editor is in response to the paper ‘Conceptualisation of the characteristics advanced practitioners in the medical radiation professions’ by Smith et al. and the subsequent letter from Jenny Sim. The writers agree that research should be explicitly listed in the conceptual model of advanced practice, and provide some evidence and viewpoints from over a decade of advanced practice work in Canada.
