The Advanced Clinical Practice programme is designed to support healthcare professionals who wish to develop the knowledge, skills and experience to deliver autonomous, complex decision-making in practice. The programme is accredited by the NHS England Centre for Advancing Practice, and is mapped to the NHS multi-professional framework for advanced practice in England (2017). The programme builds on experienced practitioners’ existing knowledge and skills to develop capability in advanced patient assessment, diagnostic reasoning, leadership, education and research through a bespoke selection of optional modules that suit your professional development within your clinical specialism. Practice-based learning and assessment under the supervision of an experienced advanced level practitioner will support your development of competence in core capabilities and specialist practice. On completion of the full masters programme, eligible students will be able to apply for an Advanced Digital Badge from NHSE.
