MSc Advanced Clinical Practice

The MSc Advanced Clinical Practice offers registered practitioners a student-centred programme of study that aims to meet their personal and professional development needs as they progress within their role towards advanced expert practice.

Students will explore advanced practice on both a personal, local, and national level. They will be encouraged to develop a substantial portfolio of evidence illustrating a breadth of practice, while exploring relevant research and developing their own skill set.

The programme is designed to fully integrate the Health Education England (2017) Multidisciplinary Capability Framework enabling registered healthcare practitioners to acquire an expert knowledge base, complex decision-making skills, and clinical competences for expanded scope of practice, underpinned by the four Advanced Clinical Practice pillars of Clinical Skills, Management and Leadership, Education, and Research.

Within the award the combination of modules aims to continuously promote the core principles of Advanced Clinical Practice; Autonomous practice, critical thinking, high levels of decision making and problem solving, values based care and improving practice.

Teaching and learning contextualises the University's ‘Student as Producer’, promoting a coherent approach to andragogic practice via discovery, collaboration, engagement, and the production of new knowledge and new ways of working.

You will be able to develop your abilities across all pillars, evidencing competencies relevant to your area of practice using work-based supervision and tripartite assessment.

Applications from job seekers who require Tier 2 sponsorship to work in the UK are welcome and will be considered alongside all other applications.  However, non-EEA candidates may not be appointed to a post if a suitably qualified, experienced and skilled EU/EEA candidate is available to take up the post as the University is unlikely, in these circumstances, to satisfy the Resident Labour Market Test.  The UK Visas and Immigration, part of the Home Office, requires employers to complete this test to show that no suitably qualified EEA or EU worker can fill the post.

Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria

Applicants require current registration with relevant professional/regulatory organizations and full support from their employing organization to facilitate the requirements of the clinical supervision.

This means that:

  • You must be a registered healthcare professional with current First Level registration with the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC), Health Care Professionals Council (HCPC), or General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC).
  • You must have no current sanctions on your practice imposed by your Registering body (NMC, HCPC, or GPhC). You should have at least 36 months of clinical experience post-qualification. You should hold a First or Second class Honours Degree in a related subject. An applicant who does not hold this should provide evidence of successful study at level 6 (or equivalent) within the past 6 years and relevant equivalent clinical experience to be managed as a non-standard application.
  • You must be currently employed in a suitable practice setting and have an identified clinical supervisor who is suitably qualified and experienced to be able to undertake supervised clinical assessments in the workplace. This is usually someone at a minimum of an experienced advanced practitioner or specialist registrar level (Health Education England 2017)

For the Prescriber Preparation Programme option, in addition, the following applies:

  • A separate application is made via the online form provided on the University of Lincoln website, not UCAS. In relation to entry requirements, nurse applicants must meet the current conditions laid out by the NMC of having 12 months of post-registration experience. Applicants who are registered with the HCPC or GPhC must meet profession-specific conditions laid out by these registering bodies to access Prescriber Preparation modules (subject to validation). Applicants must provide a current enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check.
