Summary
Advanced Clinical Practice Education at DMU is underpinned by the multi-professional framework for Advanced Clinical Practice for England. The curriculum that we deliver is mapped across the four pillars of Advanced Practice to ensure the Advanced Clinical Practitioners of tomorrow have the breadth of knowledge and the confidence practise to a recognised standard.
The four pillars of advanced practice are:
-
Clinical Practice
-
Leadership and Management
-
Education
-
Research
The programme is taught at level 7. The programme supports students to develop the necessary skills to face these challenges and have the confidence to demonstrate strengths across all four pillars of practice.
Within the ACP modular programme there is ongoing assessment of the student’s development which occurs collaboratively through focused teaching and workplace learning. The MSc Advanced Clinical Practice programme at De Montfort University seeks to enhance the practitioner’s ability to appraise research, think critically, and encourages the practitioner to develop beyond the role of an expert clinician.
The curriculum has been designed with expert advice from clinicians, academics and local strategic partners. The university is seeking accreditation via HEE for this course and this is scheduled to take place in the next 12 months. Successful accreditation means the ACP programme can be backdated.
