Looking to develop into an Advanced Clinical Practice (ACP) role? This multiprofessional programme will help you develop essential skills such as advanced health assessment, clinical decision making and patient management, enabling you to work across the integrated care system.
Why this course
This is a multi professional qualification which can be taken by nurses, midwives, paramedics, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and 11 other allied health professionals. This programme is mapped to the NHSE Multi professional ACP Framework and the 4 pillars of advanced practice: Clinical, Leadership, Education and Research. Graduates will be able to apply for ACP roles in a range of NHS, private, voluntary and independent settings, including primary care.
How you'll learn
Your learning will incorporate a mixture of face-to-face learning, as well as using the university’s virtual learning environment (VLE) (Moodle). This blended approach supports the development of your digital literacy skills which are essential for working in current and future health settings.
You will participate in diverse and authentic assessments in both theory and practice. These include case-study based assessments, oral presentations, poster presentations, self-reflections, peer review and feedback as well as an e-portfolio which evidences your development across the programme.
Career options
On completion of the programme, graduates will be qualified to apply for Advanced Clinical Practitioner Roles (ACP) roles in a range of NHS, private, voluntary and independent settings, including primary care. ACP roles often provide the opportunity for graduates to work outside of their traditional professional field/boundaries. It is likely that due to the evolution of the healthcare workforce that further roles/career pathways will evolve rapidly in the future and indeed, ACPs are very well placed to lead this service development.
