Summary
Advanced practitioners are now in demand in all sectors of the health service. This course provides the opportunity to study with the highly regarded School of Health and Social Care at LSBU, which has over 20 years experience educating nurses and more recently allied health professionals and pharmacists to work safely and effectively at an advanced level of clinical practice.
There are three routes available: Adult, Child and Mental Health. Each has been has been designed to equip graduates with the knowledge, skills and behaviours commensurate with the Health Education England Multiprofessional Framework for Advanced Clinical Practice in England (2017). This comprises of four pillars (Clinical Practice, Management/Leadership, Education and Research) with a range of capabilities specified under each.
Our course provides thorough preparation not only for advanced nurse practitioners, but also for advanced clinical practitioners and health professionals who wish to work at a higher level of practice.

Other distinctive features of the course:
A Postgraduate Certificate Enhancing Clinical Practice and Postgraduate Diploma Advanced Clinical Practice award are available as intermediate exit awards only. These are intended for students who have studied modules within the MSc ACP but have decided not to or are unable to continue their studies through to completion of the full MSc award. This decision may also be based on availability of funding. In response to student and employer feedback and learning from similar course curriculum, a taught third year replaces the traditional 60 credit Dissertation. This comprises three 20 credit Level 7 modules. Students completing the PgDip award will have achieved the "threshold" standard set by HEE (2017) for the level of advanced clinical practice. However, this approach enables students to build on this by extending the period of support for successful consolidation and further optimisation of the four pillars of advanced level of practice.
