MSc Advanced Clinical Practice/ PGDip Advancing Clinical Practice*

The MSc Advanced Clinical Practice is a multi-disciplinary qualification for Allied Health Professionals. The programme provides existing practitioners with the skills and knowledge to become more autonomous in their roles and have the ability to improve and evaluate services for patients – to become an Advanced Practitioner.

We offer specialist streams in Optometry, Audiology and Pharmacy for candidates who have already completed a Postgraduate Certificate of Higher Education in Advanced Health Assessment elsewhere. Our programme therefore allows you to “top up” your existing PGCert qualification to either a postgraduate diploma or an MSc.  Optometrists and Pharmacists study to become an independent prescriber as part of the qualification. Audiologists can choose from a range of modules to enhance their clinical practice. Many of the modules are available by distance or blended learning, allowing you flexibility in the way that you study. 

This programme is expected to be sponsored by Health Education West Midlands for eligible NHS employees. If you wish to take the entire programme as an individual the cost is £337.50 per 10 credits. Individual modules can be taken as CPD/ EPD at the cost of £500 per 10 credits.
