Abstract
This is the second in a series of two articles looking over the past 21 years of developing assistant practitioners (APs) at the University of Bolton. Part one looked at the history and background of the AP and the university's long-lasting involvement in developing this innovative and versatile role. This article will focus on the case studies of two individuals who have engaged with the programme at the University of Bolton and how it has helped shape—or is shaping—their careers.
