Summary
**Overview**
The Advanced Professional Practice programme reflects national and international benchmarks for advanced level professional practice for the healthcare workforce, while supporting you to build a personalised qualification around your own advancing professional practice role. In addition to four core modules, you will choose from a wide range of optional modules. This allows you to tailor the programme to the context of your own professional practice, enabling you to achieve optimal professional development. As the programme is aligned to the Health Education England Multi-Professional Framework for Advanced Clinical Practice in England (HEE, 2017), the four pillars of advanced practice (clinical practice, management and leadership, education and research) are embedded in each module in the programme portfolio, particularly in the core modules, to ensure that you explicitly advance all four pillars over the course of the MSc programme. For many students, the completion of specific modules will allow them to seek credentialing of their practice by an external professional body, e.g. Advanced-level Nurse Practitioner [RCN] Model B: Master’s Degree in Advanced Practice (not accredited by RCN) or Advanced Clinical Practitioner in Emergency Medicine [Royal College of Emergency Medicine].
The programme has three academic awards, enabling students to complete the programme with a Post-Graduate Certificate (PGCert), Post-Graduate Diploma (PGDip) or full MSc in Advanced Professional Practice, depending on the number of credits achieved and required core modules completed.
**About This Course**
We consider advanced practice to be a level of practice, which can be achieved across a wider range of roles and settings in health and social care. Therefore, this programme is suitable for health and care professionals working in a wide variety of settings and to both national and international applicants living and working in the UK. As the programme requires learners to be assessed in practice and to undertake a service improvement project within their clinical setting, you must have the support of your employing organisation and a commitment by them that they will meet the assessment and governance requirements of the programme during your period of study. To this end, a meeting between the University, you and your line manager/practice assessor will be required during two core modules on the programme.

Entry requirements | An upper class honours degree (2:2) in a Health and Care subject. Successful applicants will have recent experience of working in a professional role in a health, education or care setting. Students will typically hold a professional registration with a recognised health or care professional body. All applicants who are not a British national and/or whose first language is not English will need to demonstrate a suitable level of English language proficiency. This is equivalent to an IELTS 6.5 overall, with a minimum of 6.5 in all components, although we do accept many other types of qualifications or tests. In accordance with the UK Border Agencies Tier 4 visa guidelines, we will also waive the English language requirement for applicants who meet the defined nationality test or who have completed a degree level course in one of the listed countries. |

Summary
**Overview**
The health and care sectors are forever changing: adapting to new challenges – and new forms of treatment.
Reflecting UK and international benchmarks, our Advanced Professional Practice programme has been designed to help experienced professionals meet these changes head-on, with improved ways of working and a positive impact on patient health.
Our programme is based on the four pillars of advanced practice: clinical, research, education, and management. Through it you’ll develop your expertise in leadership, innovation, and change management. You will also further your skills in research appraisal, evidence-based practice, and decision-making, enabling you to deliver the best possible care.
The programme is designed to offer flexibility to working professionals through blended learning. You can tailor the course to your requirements by choosing to follow either the Leadership or Clinical pathway at PG Certificate, PG Diploma or Master’s level. If you are a UK student you will have the option of studying part-time.
**About This Course**
The overarching philosophy of our programme is that advanced practice is all about reaching a level of practice, rather than a specific professional role. Suitable for all experienced health and care professionals and open to both national and international applicants, it reflects professional, UK-wide government and international benchmarks for advanced level practice for the health and social care workforces.
You will gain the contemporary knowledge and skills for advanced level practice. Our aim is to help you to develop an academic preparedness for an advanced professional practice role. All of which is based on the four pillars of advanced practice – clinical, research, education and management/leadership – and the five key principles: autonomous practice, critical thinking, values-based care, improving practice, and high levels of decision-making and problem-solving.
By selecting the optional modules that are relevant to your area of advanced practice, you can tailor the course around your professional practice needs and across the pillars and principles. The emphasis of learning within each of the four pillars will be dependent on the pathway you have chosen, the level of study you’ve opted for and the modules you have selected. So you can build a qualification specific to your individual requirements.
