Advanced Clinical Practice MSc

Advanced Clinical Practice (ACP) is a level of practice that involves autonomy and decision-making, carried out by highly-experienced registered health practitioners. It is underpinned by Health Education England’s four pillars: clinical practice, leadership and management, education and research.

You will be surrounded by like-minded individuals which helps to build your multidisciplinary understanding and context. The course faculty is made up of more than 20 academics from a variety of professional backgrounds including doctors, nurses, paramedics, physiotherapists, physician associates, speech and language therapists, and researchers.

Three times a year the entire ACP cohort will meet in professional practice days, where you will learn in a multi-disciplinary setting what it means to be an Advanced Clinical Practitioner.

Five different pathways are available on the MSc:

* Generic

* Critical Care

* Mental Health

* Advanced Musculoskeletal Practice

* Urgent and Emergency Care.

Three pathways available for the PgDip:

* Generic

* Advanced Musculoskeletal Practice

* Urgent and Emergency Care

The degree title you are awarded will depend on your pathway. For example, if you complete the Musculoskeletal pathway, you will receive an MSc Advanced Clinical Practice (Musculoskeletal) qualification.

Our ACP course meets all the requirements set out within Health Education England’s Multi-Professional Framework for Advanced Clinical Practice in England (HEE, 2017) and is accredited by NHS England.
