Summary

The Clinical Practice PgCert is designed to enhance your clinical skills in a way that is relevant to your practice. Our different pathways allow you to choose modules that best suit your practice and needs. The course will maximise your professional skills and capabilities with a goal of allowing you to practice at an enhanced level.

Five different pathways for the PgCert are available: - Generic

  • Clinical Human Factors and Patient Safety

  • First Contact Practitioner (Paramedic)

  • First Contact Practitioner (Musculoskeletal)

  • Critical Care.

The First Contact Practitioner pathways have been formally recognised as delivering education and training in line with the relevant Roadmaps to Practice through NHS England's Workforce, Training and Education Provider Self-Declaration process.

All routes within the course promote your personal and professional development and will contribute to your career advancement within the relevant health and social care sector.

Two of the pathways result in a First Contact Practitioner (FCP) qualification. An FCP service is a registered health professional who provides the first point of contact for patients.

This service increases capacity to general practice and allows patients to receive faster access to the right care. FCP's are qualified autonomous clinical practitioners who are able to assess, diagnose, treat and discharge patients without a medical referral.
