Skills
During this programme learners will develop advanced knowledge and skills such as history taking, advanced health assessment, clinical decision-making, patient management and prescribing.
An awareness and enhanced understanding of quality improvement, research and audit will also be developed across the programme.
This is an increasingly popular professional development route and important post registration qualification for registered clinicians. The apprenticeship will provide learners with the knowledge and skills to confidently provide evidence-based advanced practice across the integrated care system.
Learning
Learning will incorporate a mixture of face-to-face teaching, as well as using the university’s virtual learning environment (VLE) Moodle.
This blended approach supports the development of learners’ digital literacy skills which are essential for working in current and future health settings.
Assessment
Learners will participate in diverse and authentic assessments in both theory and practice.
These include case-study based assessments, oral presentations, poster presentations, self-reflections, peer review and feedback as well as an e-portfolio which evidences learner development across the programme.
Career
When you graduate you will be well prepared to apply for ACP roles in a range of NHS, private, voluntary and independent settings, including primary care.
ACP roles often provide the opportunity for graduates to work outside of their traditional professional field/boundaries. It is likely that due to the evolution of the healthcare workforce that further roles/career pathways will evolve rapidly in the future and indeed, ACPs are very well placed to lead this service development.
