Course overview

Our Advanced Practice degree will enable you as an experienced practitioner working at an advanced level to meet the nationally agreed advanced clinical practice criteria. This will include the four pillars of advanced practice (clinical practice, leadership and management, education and research) to further develop your role as an advanced clinical practitioner.

Why Study Advanced Clinical Practice at Middlesex?

On successful completion of the MSc Advanced Practice programme, you'll be entitled to the professional title of Advanced Clinical Practitioner having demonstrated capabilities with the four domains of ACP practice. Successful practitioners will have acquired a range of advanced level skills which will offer you further career progression and/or progress to masters or doctoral level studies.

You'll have developed skills required to share your advanced knowledge and expertise across the local, national and international arena and to act as supervisors of other advance practitioners. You will also build a reputation for yourself, act as a role model and be known as an expert within your field of nursing/midwifery.

What Will You Learn?

You'll work alongside your clinical supervisor and personal tutor to follow an initial self- assessment of capabilities and design a unique programme of university study and workplace learning. This personalised approach to learning will enable you to demonstrate the capabilities within the domains of advanced practice, education, research and management and leadership.

We have four different specialisms for this course - Nursing, Midwifery, Mental Health and Primary Care Nursing.

ACP capabilities within each domain will be demonstrated in the workplace or university and then documented through a series of reflective narrative accounts supplemented with appropriate evidence in a portfolio. You'll do this as part of the module entitled Capabilities of Advanced Practice which is one of three core modules in the programme. The others are the Advanced Practitioner Enquiry and Advanced Project - these align with the capabilities within the research domain.
