Course Director

Before the course begins take some time to familiarize yourself with the 4 pillars of Advanced Clinical Practice.

You could also look at the national ACP toolkit as well as the Multi-professional framework for Advanced Clinical Practice. Think about your own learning outcomes and how you plan to achieve them.

Finally it would be useful if you have identified a clinical facilitator/assessor who can support you during the course. This should be a senior clinician.

Getting started

Your Course team will contact you over the winter to share details regarding your Welcome and Induction.  Please note, teaching for this course will commence from week beginning 8 January 2024.
