TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
T
he University of Plymouth’s Advanced Practice pro-
grammes enable practitioners with a professional registration to devel- op and improve practice in terms of efficiency, effectiveness, service and quality, leading to enhanced patient care. Applying critical and reflective thinking to practice at an advanced level, within ethical and legal boundaries, fosters personal and professional development, as well as lifelong learning.
The programmes allow for local provision of advanced level multi- professional education. They are designed by health academics working with service providers and students work as part of an academic community with other professionals, carers and users.
Healthcare professionals can de- velop their potential as advanced practitioners who: apply ethical principles to inform practice; com- municate with others from a variety of professional backgrounds, and service users, to investigate, evalu-
ate and improve service provision; display knowledge and skills that enhance expert practice and lead- ership; engage in and reflect on CPD to improve knowledge whilst sharing expert practice; present reasoned arguments, based on critical analysis of evidence from policy, theory and research; and use appropriate research methods to investigate and evaluate prac- tice and service provision.
The aim is to maximise student choice, and increase flexibility in terms of methods of delivery. Some optional modules have been designed for delivery at the work site. Students can also ‘step off’ of the course with 60 credits for a PG cert, 120 credits for a PG diploma or the full 180 credits for the MSc.
As a part of the inter-professional Master’s scheme, students can tai- lor their learning, choosing from a range of optional modules.
