AP7001: Personal and Professional Development for Advanced Practice

Module overview

This module will introduce you to both the academic and clinical practice elements of the MSc course, equipping you with the skills and knowledge to study at level 7 and to start your professional transformation on the journey towards advanced practice.

You’ll critically explore the legal, ethical, economic and political obligations, evidence based practice and critical reflection that underpin professional practice within healthcare. You will learn how to build personal and professional resilience enabling you to more effectively challenge and enhance clinical practice. Your professional portfolio will enable you consolidate and translate your learning into tangible development of your clinical practice.
