Advanced Clinical Practice (Taught)

Advanced Clinical Practice (ACP) is a level of practice that involves autonomy and decision-making, carried out by highly-experienced registered health practitioners. It is underpinned by Health Education England’s four pillars: clinical practice, leadership and management, education and research.

You will be surrounded by like-minded individuals which helps to build your multidisciplinary understanding and context. The course faculty is made up of more than 20 academics from a variety of professional backgrounds including doctors, nurses, paramedics, physiotherapists, physician associates, speech and language therapists, and researchers.

Three times a year the entire ACP cohort will meet in professional practice days, where you will learn in a multi-disciplinary setting what it means to be an Advanced Clinical Practitioner.
