Summary
This programme also includes the following specialist pathways:
Advanced Practice (Audiology)
Advanced Practice (Complex Lower Limb)
Advanced Practice (Dental Technology)
Advanced Practice (Dietetics)
Advanced Practice (Speech & Language Therapy)
The aim of the MSc Advanced Practice in Healthcare programme is to develop autonomous reflective practitioners who are engaged in advanced practice within a range of clinical, organisational and professional settings. The programme focuses on your needs as an individual learner within the context of healthcare with specific pathways for Allied Health Professionals. It fosters Interprofessional Education in joint modules and encourages best practice and innovation within the four pillars of Research and Audit, Leadership and Management, Clinical Practice and Education in line with the Professional Framework for Enhanced, Advanced and Consultant clinical practice in Wales (HEIW 2023).
The MSc Advanced Practice in Healthcare is a flexible part-time* programme, offering learners the opportunity to study for a PgCert, PgDip or MSc, or to study individual modules as micro-credentials, which can build up over time to a formal Postgraduate Certificate, Postgraduate Diploma or Master’s qualification.
This enables flexible, variable progression that is responsive to student and employer continuous professional learning needs and the constantly changing practice environment.
Any relevant modules at Level 7 (Master’s level) studied at another university, that meet the learning needs of the student, can be incorporated into the module mix via the Recognising Prior Learning (RPL) procedure. In addition, it is recognised that many professions engage with CPD activities which are not credit rated, and these can also be considered through the RPL procedure.
Please Note:
- MSc Advanced Practice (Audiology) is also available as a full-time programme over 15 months.
Applicants must normally be able to demonstrate a minimum of 2 years recent and relevant experience in an appropriate setting. Applicants for the Dietetics pathway should be registered Dieticians with the Health and Care Professions Council and applicants for the Speech and Language Therapy pathway should be registered Speech and Language Therapists with the Health and Care Professions Council.
For some clinical micro-credentials, specialist clinical experience may be required on entry to ensure that you are well placed for successful study on the module. This will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the relevant module leader.
