Continuing professional development (CPD) is a mandatory component for over one and a half million regulated professionals working across health and social care in the UK.

Both nationally and internationally, health and care systems are shifting towards integrated outcomes focused, person-centred preventative models of care. This way of working will require interagency, interdisciplinary collaborative skills and the ability to work with people who use services, their families and communities to continuously improve the quality of care provision and to coproduce better outcomes for all concerned. This award has been structured to enable students to take a flexible approach to build their learning within its framework according to changing development and career needs.

This MSc places a firm focus on inter-professional learning, work based and practice-focused development and academic growth.
