The MSc Advanced Clinical Practice has been designed to meet the needs of the health professional whose desire is to develop their clinical career to a higher level as an advanced practitioner.

This programme will utilise a multi-professional approach to develop the health professional’s knowledge and skills to work at an advanced level of clinical practice. The programme has been designed around the current Health Education England (HEE) (2017) Multi-Professional Framework for Advanced Clinical Practice in England and applies to all non-medical healthcare professionals including nurses, midwives, pharmacists and allied health professionals. The course supports the concepts outlined within the Multi-Professional Framework for Advanced Clinical Practice in England (Health Education England, 2017) and encourages the development of new ways of working within the multi-professional workforce to meet the changing needs of the population.

It is expected that on completion of this course you will be a recognised Advanced Clinical Practitioner (HEE, 2017) with an expert knowledge base, complex decision-making skills and clinical capabilities for an expanded, autonomous scope of practice, the characteristics of which are shaped by the context in which the individual practices. This requires that health and care professionals working at the level of advanced clinical practice will exercise autonomy and decision-making in a context of complexity, uncertainty and varying levels of risk, holding accountability for decisions made.

The course has been developed in response to identified and anticipated demands for increasing the number of registered health professionals with advanced clinical skills and critical understanding for transformation of the current health care workforce.
