These programs have been designed to facilitate your development and the demonstration of knowledge, skills, and competencies required to work at an advanced level within your own professional setting. You will receive support to cultivate a critical awareness of current challenges and emerging insights at the forefront of your professional practice. You will analyze care development and delivery from your professional perspective and consider how other disciplines both challenge and contribute to the quality of care delivery. The PgC Advancing Practice offers you the opportunity to critically explore the Advanced Practice agenda in healthcare. There will be a particular emphasis on leadership skills, complemented by modules designed to enhance knowledge and skills in assessment/examination, clinical reasoning, and decision-making. The PgD Advancing Practice offers all of the above. In the second year, it includes the Non-Medical Prescribing module, which is typically considered essential, unless you have already completed a Prescribing qualification or work in a profession where Non-Medical Prescribing is not supported. In such cases, the course team will assist you in selecting two optional modules of study.
