The MSC Advanced Clinical Practitioner Apprenticeship will offer you a course of study that has been developed to ensure that on completion you have reached the required educational level of an advanced clinical practitioner (ACP). The successful completion of the MSc Advanced clinical practice does not mean that you are able to work as an ACP, you must also meet your employer’s requirements through completion of their bespoke competencies, supported to enhance your scope of professional practice, to be able to be classified as an ACP.
The modules on the course will follow nationally prescribed guidance on the ACP role. The course at Canterbury Christ Church University is accredited by the Centre for Advancing Practice.
Please note that if your profession does not allow you to prescribe you are still able to complete the course and work as an ACP. Therefore, you will undertake modules that will enhance your role.
This course is based on developing your role to be able to fulfil this advanced practice specification. In addition, the course ensures that the 4 pillars of ACP are considered: Clinical practice, management/ leadership, education, and research. These 4 aspects are embedded within the modules.
We would encourage you to review the course structure and module options via your course page before you arrive.
