Location of University of Glamorgan
Modern healthcare services are dynamic, diverse and challenging. To meet these challenges, healthcare practitioners need advanced clinical skills and sound theoretical knowledge.
On this award, you will learn a range of clinical skills in greater depth and gain the knowledge needed to assess, diagnose and treat patients. Study of relevant protocols, policy and research will complement this to allow safe practice at an advanced level. There is also the opportunity to undertake Independent Prescribing.
You will learn advanced clinical examination skills through working with doctors and nurse practitioners in our state-of-the-art clinical simulation suite and in actual clinical practice. Theoretical elements include a range of normal and altered physiology and diagnostics. The MSc can be achieved within three years and you will be supported by a medical and professional mentor.
“The cohort consisted of an eclectic mix of health professionals which prompted varied debate. Glamorgan staff offered me a supportive environment, allowing me to successfully complete a part-time MSc – for which I am very grateful!” Angela Hough – MSc Advanced Clinical Practitioner
