Course Summary

This course is studied and applied for on a modular basis. You take the core module/s then simply pick and choose from the wide selection of optional modules we have available.

This flexible course is designed to develop and enhance skills that are required to become an advanced practitioner. It is suitable for experienced health and social care practitioners who are currently functioning as advanced practitioners or who are developing towards this level of autonomous practice.

In developing this course, the Department has collaborated with members from a range of professions with varying roles in organisations including service managers, practitioners and educationalists.

We are currently seeking accreditation for this course from Health Education England (HEE), the national governing body for healthcare education. Gaining this accreditation would enable our graduates to achieve a standardised, nationally recognised digital badge on successful completion of our MSc Advanced Practice.
