Course summary
This course will enable you to develop competency in advanced clinical practice while working in your existing healthcare setting.
Through the integration of research and theory with practice, you’ll build your knowledge and skills so you can safely assess, diagnose, and treat or refer patients presenting with undifferentiated problems. This will include the prescription or administration of medication according to the rules governing your profession.
You'll gain professional skills including risk management, resilience, and leadership to progress your journey towards advanced practice. In addition, you’ll examine the wider context of healthcare and work towards improving health outcomes in collaboration with others, not merely for individuals but also for groups and populations.
On graduation, you’ll be a critically reflective practitioner, able to make informed judgements based on sound analysis, often within unpredictable circumstances. You will be ready to take your place in a range of healthcare settings.
This course has been designed to enable you to achieve the capabilities in the NHS (2017) Advanced Clinical Practice Multi-professional framework and is offered with apprenticeship and non-apprenticeship routes. If you wish to explore an apprenticeship you will need to talk to your employer about this as there are specific requirements and employment required.
