What will I learn?

Overview

Advanced practice is built upon four pillars of practice; clinical practice, facilitating learning, leadership, and evidence, research and development. This course will develop your professional practice in your workplace and the practice of others you work with to provide high quality care.

Responding to changes required in response to the 10-year NHS plan and the future needs of the population requires a workforce well prepared to provide practice and services that enhance the experience of service users. The generic nature of the course supports all students from a wide variety of professions and roles to apply learning to their individual circumstances and develop advanced professional practice.

Why study Healthcare Practice Neonatal Pathway?

Students that have applied for explicit pathways (Simulation or Neonatal) will be required to complete and pass specified modules within the MSc Healthcare Practice course which emphasises the need to develop advanced practice for quality healthcare provision for all people across the healthcare sector.

Responding to changes required in response to the 10-year NHS plan and the future needs of the population requires a workforce well prepared to provide practice and services that enhance the experience of service users.
