About this course

Overview

Our Advanced Professional Practice programme reflects national and international benchmarks for advanced level professional practice for the healthcare workforce, while supporting you to build a personalised qualification around your own advancing professional practice role.

In addition to core modules, you'll choose from a wide range of optional modules, allowing you to tailor the programme to the context of your career. This programme is accredited by NHS England’s Centre for Advancing Practice and is therefore closely aligned to the NHS England Multi-Professional Framework for Advanced Clinical Practice in England (HEE, 2017).

Most modules are available as Continuing Professional Development (CPD) standalone modules. Please visit our CPD section for further information about individual CPD modules which can help you to progress into this programme.

As this programme requires you to be assessed in practice and to undertake a service improvement project within your clinical setting, you must have the support of your organisation. It’s essential that your organisation commits to meeting the programme's assessment and governance requirements.

Here at UEA, you’ll benefit from our innovative online and blended teaching and learning methods. We embrace and encourage diverse professional perspectives and backgrounds to promote an inclusive and participatory approach. Our course is underpinned by the four pillars of advanced practice. We also offer an individual approach to help you evaluate your limitations and strengths, encouraging you to reflect on your learning journey and career goals. We’ll support you to achieve your full potential, offering you access to a range of advisers and specialists within the school, as well as the University’s dedicated student support service. You’ll graduate with the knowledge and skills to progress your career to the next level, ready to meet the ever-changing demands of modern healthcare practice.
