Course summary
Overview
Take the next step in your career as a healthcare professional by becoming an Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP).
This course aims to develop your advanced practice skills and knowledge to a higher level. It will enable you to combine expert clinical skills with research, education and clinical leadership; specific to your clinical specialism.
You will establish a clear professional identity, be able to identify areas of improvement, and take leadership over research-based projects built to improve patient experiences.
You will be able to study while you work and apply your learning under the guidance of your named supervisor in the workplace. This course is also taught in London.
Course detail
This course is taught at Level 7 (Masters) and is designed to build on your learning.
The ACP four pillars form overarching themes:
Clinical Practice
You will be introduced to a systematic approach to real world case studies of increasing complexity, drawn from your own professional practice, as well as those provided by the academic team. As a developing ACP you will be taught advanced clinical examination and reasoning skills. You will work with complex patient presentations.
Leadership
You will work autonomously within the healthcare multi-professional team. You will develop skills that enable critical appraisal of leadership theory and its application to improve the patient experience.
Education
You will begin by gaining insight into your own educational needs and complete the course confident in your leadership and education of others. Education of others will include service users and carers.
Research
You will be introduced to the critical use of evidence, develop skills to apply these to practice and conclude with producing high quality evidence that demonstrates the impact of ACP on improving patient outcomes.
