Advanced Clinical Practice Apprenticeship starts at Roehampton

Posted On: Friday 9th February 2024

Summary

Roehampton University has launched the Advanced Clinical Practice (ACP) apprenticeship level 7 and the next cohort starts at the end of April 2024.

Full Story

This exciting new multiprofessional programme is aimed at registered AHP healthcare practitioners who wish to develop into Advanced Clinical Practice (ACP) roles. ACPs are skilled professionals who are central to providing a responsive, flexible workforce to meet the future needs of healthcare organisations and the populations they serve. 

During this programme learners will develop advanced knowledge and skills such as history taking, advanced health assessment, clinical decision-making, patient management and prescribing. An awareness and enhanced understanding of quality improvement, research and audit will also be developed across the programme.  

This is an increasingly popular professional development route and important post registration qualification for registered clinicians. The apprenticeship will provide learners with the knowledge and skills to confidently provide evidence-based advanced practice across the integrated care system.  

Learning will incorporate a mixture of face-to-face teaching, as well as using the university’s virtual learning environment (VLE) Moodle. This blended approach supports the development of learners’ digital literacy skills which are essential for working in current and future health settings. Learners will also participate in diverse and authentic assessments in both theory and practice. These include case-study based assessments, oral presentations, poster presentations, self-reflections, peer review and feedback as well as an e-portfolio which evidences learner development across the programme.
