Advanced Professional Practice MSc

Designed to meet the development needs of a range of health and allied health professions, develop in-depth knowledge and expertise required to become an advanced professional health and social care practitioner.<br/><br/>The MSc Advanced Professional Practice (APP) runs parallel to the MSc Advanced Clinical Practice (ACP). It has been developed in close collaboration with commissioning providers of health and social care, and other key stakeholders including students, service users and partners in practice to ensure that it meets contemporary workforce needs and practice standards.<br/><br/>This programme also recognises you may already have a portfolio of Continuing Professional Development (including clinically focused level 7 modules from the University of Gloucestershire and other higher education institutions), but not yet had the opportunity to register for a full Masters level award. You’ll have the potential to transfer credit into the programme, providing a coherent route to completing an MSc Advanced Professional Practice.<br/><br/>You’ll challenge received wisdom and be encouraged to look beyond your professional field, to theory from a range of other disciplines, including sociology, philosophy, psychology and law. The MSc will provide you with the tools to challenge embedded norms and have an in-depth awareness of local, national and international issues which may impact upon your advanced professional practice.<br/><br/>**Modules**<br/><br/>Please note this course map is indicative of the structure of this course and may be subject to change.<br/><br/>To complete your programme you must pass the following compulsory modules:<br/><br/>AP7004: Research, audit and service evaluation methods <br/>AP7006: Advanced professional practice Independent project <br/>AP7201: Personal impact and professional development for advanced practice <br/>AP7205: Building your authority: leading and driving service delivery and development <br/><br/>Other modules that can be counted toward your programme include:<br/><br/>AP7002: Assessment, diagnosis and decision making for advanced clinical practice <br/>AP7008: Specialist mental health practice <br/>AP7009: Specialist end of life care in adults <br/>AP7010: Individual learning contract <br/>AP7011: Specialist clinical practice: Primary care <br/>AP7012: Specialist clinical practice: COPD <br/>AP7013: Teaching, coaching and supervision for advanced clinical practice <br/>AP7014: Promoting public health and well-being <br/>AP7015: Certificate in Professional Studies: Independent and Supplementary Prescribing <br/>AP7017: Specialist clinical practice: Women’s Health <br/>AP7018: Specialist clinical practice: STROKE <br/>AP7019: Professional Practice for International Social Workers <br/>AP7203: Specialist professional practice <br/><br/>**For more information and to apply for the Advanced Professional Practice course, please visit the course page at www.glos.ac.uk/Postgraduate**
