MSc Advanced Clinical Practice
University of LincolnBrayford Pool, United Kingdom
Course overview
Advanced Clinical Practice is a multi-professional level of practice carried out by experienced clinicians who independently manage the clinical care process from start to finish in partnership with individuals, families, and carers. By working across traditional health and social care boundaries, they combine expert clinical skills with research, education, and leadership, to create innovative solutions which enhance patient experience and improve outcomes. This programme is designed to fully integrate the Health Education England (2017) Multidisciplinary Capability Framework.
This framework enables registered healthcare practitioners to acquire an expert knowledge base, complex decision-making skills, and clinical competencies for expanded scope of practice. This is underpinned by the four Advanced Clinical Practice pillars of Clinical Skills, Management and Leadership, Education, and Research. On this course, students can explore advanced practice on a personal, local, and national level.
They may be opportunities to develop a substantial portfolio of evidence which illustrates a breadth of practice, while exploring relevant research and developing their own skill set. Across the course, students will be required to demonstrate core capabilities and area specific clinical competence.
