The Clinical Practice PgCert is designed to enhance your clinical skills in a way that is relevant to your practice. Our different pathways allow you to choose modules that best suit your practice and needs. The course will maximise your professional skills and capabilities with a goal of allowing you to practice at an enhanced level.

Five different pathways for the PgCert are available: Generic, Clinical Human Factors and Patient Safety, First Contact Provider (Paramedic), First Contact Provider (Musculoskeletal), and Critical Care. The PgCert is worth 60 credits and is normally undertaken part-time over one year. The Critical Care pathway starts in Term 2.

Our degree courses meet all the requirements set out within Health Education England’s Multi-Professional Framework for Advanced Clinical Practice in England (HEE, 2017). The First Contact Practitioner pathways have been formally recognised as delivering education and training in line with the relevant Roadmaps to Practice through NHS England's Workforce, Training and Education Provider Self-Declaration process. All routes within the course promote your personal and professional development and will contribute to your career advancement within the relevant health and social care sector.
