Postgraduate Prospectus

This course has a start date in September

Recent years have seen major shifts in professional boundaries within the health service. Increasingly, nurses and other registered practitioners are taking on roles that have traditionally been the domain of doctors.

This postgraduate certificate has been specially created for those practitioners, giving you the knowledge and confidence to boost your career prospects and improve your history-taking, clinical examination and decision-making skills.

Focusing on high-quality teaching with plenty of opportunity to develop clinical skills in a practical setting, the course welcomes students from a variety of specialist fields, giving you the chance to share experiences and best practice. 

Applications for September entry are usually considered between February and June of the same year. Please contact the course director before you apply.

For those looking to develop skills and knowledge to a higher level, you may also be interested in our MSc/Postgraduate Diploma Advanced Clinical Practice.

Applicants usually hold a bachelor’s degree, or equivalent qualifications and experience. All applicants must be qualified healthcare professionals, usually with a minimum of two years’ experience in professional practice.
