Advanced Clinical Practice (Advanced Allied Health Practitioner) (Taught)

Enhance your practice at a global top 100* university.

This programme will enable you to practice with a high level of clinical autonomy in roles that require you to assess, diagnose, treat, and manage the care of people with undifferentiated and/or complex clinical presentations.

Through multi-professional learning, you’ll study alongside nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, and other healthcare practitioners. Your learning will be clinically focused and grounded in real-world practice.

This particular pathway is suitable for you if you are one of the growing number of UK registered practitioners working in (or towards) a role as an Advanced or Consultant Practitioner within your profession, or a similar role that sits at the interface between your own profession and medicine.

This pathway is accredited by Health Education England's Centre for Advancing Practice. Completion of HEE accredited programmes/pathways is set to become one of the benchmark routes to recognition for Advanced Clinical Practitioners. Accreditation is also designed to ensure a consistent level of programme quality across England.

Graduates gain recognised credentials that enhance employability and support progression through NHS bands into senior clinical and leadership roles across the NHS and partner organisations.

You’ll graduate ready to lead change, advance practice, and make a measurable impact on patient care and service delivery.
