Overview

Our Advanced Clinical Practice (ACP) 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) in order to further develop your role as an advanced clinical practitioner.

Why study MSc/PGDip Advanced Clinical Practice at Middlesex University?

The core focus of the programme is the recognition of and building on previously acquired knowledge and skills, combined with workplace learning and supplemented with virtual live and on-demand pre-recorded modules. Key to the programme is the relationship between the trainee, your clinical supervisor and your University tutor.

This course has been designed with four main pathways depending on your experience and chosen career path. You can graduate with any of the following titles:

  • MSc/PGDip Advanced Clinical Practice (Nursing)
  • MSc/PGDip Advanced Clinical Practice (Midwifery)
  • MSc/PGDip Advanced Clinical Practice (Mental Health)
  • MSc/PGDip Advanced Clinical Practice (Primary Care Nursing)

Whether studying for a PG Diploma or an master's degree, you will benefit from our pre-programme consultation and advice which continues throughout the course. You'll also benefit from our unique personal tutoring system which takes a proactive approach and echoes the values of ‘building success for all’, helping you to reach your potential as a qualified advanced clinical practitioner.

As an experienced practitioner working at an advanced level, we know that you have the makings of an advanced clinical practitioner having already gained academic qualifications and experience. Our job is to capture that past learning, to work with you and your clinical supervisor to build on your experience by identifying work-place learning opportunities.

Careers

How can the MSc/PGDip Advanced Clinical Practice support your career?

On successful completion of the MSc/PGDip Advanced Clinical Practice programme, you’ll be entitled to the professional title of Advanced Clinical Practitioner having demonstrated capabilities with the four domains of ACP practice within your specialism.

You will be able to practice as an ACP within a job role which will have been identified by your employer and as such, you will be the right person, with the right skills, in the right place at the right time (HEE, 2017).

We have four different specialisms available for this course:

  • MSc/PGDip Advanced Clinical Practice (Nursing)
  • MSc/PGDip Advanced Clinical Practice (Midwifery)
  • MSc/PGDip Advanced Clinical Practice (Mental Health)
  • MSc/PGDip Advanced Clinical Practice (Primary Care Nursing)
