The health and care sectors are forever adapting to new challenges and new forms of treatment. Reflecting UK and international benchmarks, our Advanced Professional Practice programme has been designed to help experienced professionals meet these changes head-on, with improved ways of working and a positive impact of patient health.

You will also further your skills in research appraisal, evidence-based practice, and decision-making, enabling you to deliver the best possible care.
