If you’re an advanced practitioner working in a health profession, or you are working towards advanced practice status in a role that involves high level decision-making and problem-solving, this course is for you.

There is a lot of flexibility in your choice of modules and in most cases you do not have to select all of your modules from a certain area. However, for some of the specialist modules, you may need to be working in a specific area or studied other modules first.

The course has been developed in partnership with NHS colleagues, partners and professional bodies from across the health care sector. For example the Advanced Clinical Practitioner route offers selected modules which have been linked to the Department of Health (2010) competency statement and proficiencies, so you can be sure to receive learning that will benefit your service delivery and enhance the care you give to patients.

You can tailor the course to suit your learning needs and your professional career aspirations by choosing from a wide selection of modules. You can study specific awards or take standalone modules as part of your professional development. Many of the modules are available through distance learning, so you can study at a time and place to suit you.

To achieve the Postgraduate Certificate, you will need to study the equivalent of three 20 credit modules. For the Postgraduate Diploma, you will study the equivalent of six 20 credit modules and for the MSc in Advanced Practice you will study the equivalent of nine 20 credit modules in total.

The interim awards you can gain if you do not study the full MSc are:

  • PG Cert Osteoporosis and Falls Management
  • Postgraduate Certificate Bone Densitometry Reporting
  • Postgraduate Certificate Leadership for Health Care Improvement
  • Postgraduate Certificate Management of Long Term Conditions
  • Postgraduate Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma Advanced Practice
  • Postgraduate Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma Medical Ultrasound
  • Practice Certificate in Non-Medical Prescribing

We’re proud to say that our courses are closely mapped against the health and social care sector. This ensures that our curriculum is up-to-date, providing you with the assurance that your learning is current and relevant. This does mean that we do have to respond to national changes such as government policy. As a result, some of the information about our courses may change.
