The MSc Advanced Practice enables practitioners from the health, welfare and social care arena to develop their knowledge and extend and advance their practice to meet the increasingly complex demands within health, welfare and social care services.
Nowadays, broader responsibilities are being delegated to larger numbers of practitioners. Our course will enable you to advance your knowledge, skills and professional practice to undertake these new and extended roles. The readiness to work across organisational boundaries, to innovate and take on more demanding responsibilities will be explored, and innovation, research and creativity will be fostered, so that you can influence practice and service delivery and bring about change. Leadership and interprofessional multidisciplinary working will be developed in line with government initiatives.

Assessment
A range of assessments are used including essays, presentations, formulation of a research proposal, a research project and a patchwork text. Your assessment topics are generated from practice. By drawing on a range of conceptual frameworks, you will demonstrate your ability to think critically and innovatively. Through this process you will enhance your skills and support the development of your practice. Formative assessment strategies (such as seminar papers, group presentations and case reports) are integrated as part of the teaching and learning strategy. They are used to provide ongoing feedback about your progress and to develop a range of communication skills which will support your professional development.
Summative assessment is integrated closely with learning, and you will be able to focus your assignments to ensure relevance to your professional and personal development. The ability to problem-solve in practice will help to assess your creativity in addressing a range of issues specific to your practice.
