Advanced Professional Practice - Distance Learning

This Advanced Professional Practice - Distance Learning MSc course from the University of East Anglia reflects national and international benchmarks for advanced level professional practice for the healthcare workforce, while supporting you to build a personalised qualification tailored to your specific needs.

On this course, you’ll attain the contemporary knowledge and skills for advanced level practice. You’ll have the flexibility to choose from a wide range of optional modules, allowing you to shape your studies to the context of your own professional practice and career ambitions. Our overarching philosophy is that advanced practice is all about reaching a level of practice, rather than a defined professional role.

The program is built around the four pillars of advanced practice (Clinical, Research, Education and Management/ Leadership) and the five key principles: autonomous practice, critical thinking, values-based care, improving practice, and high levels of decision-making and problem-solving. Please note that this program is not accredited by the NHS England Centre for Advancing Practice.

This course is suitable for all experienced health and care professionals, and open to both national and international applicants. This Master’s degree reflects professional, UK-wide government and international benchmarks for advanced level practice for the health and social care workforces.
