Take a journey through the four pillars of advanced nursing practice. Through the exploration of clinical practice, education, research and leadership, you’ll learn how to apply these to a higher level of contemporary and autonomous clinical nursing practice in your speciality.
Practising nursing at an advanced level is a demanding and challenging role. We'll help you develop the skills and expertise you need in order to provide advanced nursing care. Alongside this, you'll transform your existing nursing qualifications into an MSc in Advanced Nursing Practice accredited by the RCN.
With the choice to study in Cambridge or Chelmsford, you'll learn amongst other students with a particular interest in your chosen area of advanced nursing practice. It's a great opportunity to learn from each other. Together, you'll explore and apply the current policies, laws and procedures that apply to nursing patients at this advanced level.
We'll encourage you to delve into all areas of this field to extend your knowledge as much as possible. You'll not only strengthen your leadership and clinical decision-making skills, but also your ability to research, making effective use of evidence to support clinical practice.
You'll work with professionals from other disciplines which, together with the level of knowledge you'll gain from our course, will empower you to develop others through teaching and education.
When it comes to work placements, you'll need to already be employed in a care environment suitable to your chosen route through our course. Your manager should agree to provide you with a designated clinical supervisor, who will support and nurture your clinical practice while also ensuring it can be fully assessed.
