About this course
You may wish to complete the full masters and move on to doctoral level study when you've finished this course. However, many students go on to develop, specialise in and lead, the implementation of health care improvement services. This course is diverse so you could use the skills and knowledge you've gained to work in other areas of the public and private sectors.
You'll usually need a degree or equivalent qualification, and you must already be working in a healthcare environment.
As this course is an interim award of MSc Advanced Practice, you'll need to apply for the MSc. However, you don't have to go on to complete the full masters if you don't want to, you can stop after you've completed your PG Cert.

You’ll study these modules:
- Principles of Service Improvement in the Workplace
- Engaging with Service Improvement
We’ll encourage you to gather evidence, which you will then critically evaluate, in order to develop your understanding of the impact that changes could have on your role and practice. You’ll also gain an insight into the dilemmas and conflicts associated with introducing improvement plans, enabling you to think strategically about planning service improvement activities.
Finally, you will take forward an improvement cycle in your workplace and use your experience to reflect on future service improvement.
