Introduction

Experienced nurses and healthcare practitioners now have the opportunity to take on challenging roles, working across professional, organisational and system boundaries to meet diverse patient needs. Healthcare practitioners working towards these advanced practice roles, often at the forefront of innovative practice, are expected to undertake master’s level education (Department of Health, 2010, International Council of Nurses, 2008, Royal College of Nursing, 2012). The

1

programme is designed to develop the skills in complex reasoning, critical thinking and analysis required to undertake these roles. The awards offer students the opportunity to apply knowledge to a range of clinical and professional situations through reflection and practice experience, supported by an experienced mentor. Learning and teaching is designed to equip students with skills in using a range of information, data, tools and techniques to improve the quality of patient care and health outcomes as well as demonstrate impact and value. There is a focus on patient safety, risk assessment and risk management within a clinical governance context.

School of Health Studies Specialist Skills and Post Registration (SSPRD) (formerly known as Continuing Professional Development (CPD)) Framework for Flexible Learning.

This programme is part of the interdisciplinary Framework within the School of Health Studies. The Framework enables you to undertake a named award or create an individualised programme of study that will meet either your needs and/or your employer’s needs for a changing diverse workforce within a modern organisation.

The School of Health Studies is a major provider of education and training for individuals working within the health, social, independent and community/voluntary sector organisations across, the Yorkshire and Humber Region and wider . The School’s focus on excellence though knowledge, practice, research, leadership and management aims to support the future sustainability of the individuals, through lifelong learning and improved employability and thereby influencing the future adaptability of individual organisations and service delivery to promote change.

The framework offers a structure within which the majority of the named awards are provided across the School in conjunction within a large number of modules available to students. The modules are presented in themed areas representing employment practice or work based disciplines. Whilst some students can build their own awards by choosing their own menu of module options the majority of named award pathways, including the MSc /Postgraduate Diploma/Postgraduate Certificate Advanced Practice. This offers students the option of studying at least one module from across the School portfolio with a combination of clearly defined core and optional diversity focused modules.

Your programme of study and the collection of modules you may choose to study will contextualise your learning by addressing the Aims and Learning Outcomes for the programme which are outlined in the next section of this document. This is particularly so if you choose one of the modules from the School of Health’s framework. Modules such as the research or work based project modules, for example, enable you to shape your own focus of study within the modules aims and learning outcomes by learning the principles being taught and applying them to your own professional/employment area.

The flexibility offered by the School of Health’s framework will enable you to take forward your current experience whatever the area of your work in collaboration with the University of Bradford. You will be able to obtain credits for short episodes of study, transfer credits from prior certificated or experiential learning, undertake a

2

single module or combine studying a choice of modules over time. An academic advisor will discuss with you and support your choices.

Programme / Framework Aims

The MSc /Postgraduate Diploma/Postgraduate Certificate and the School of Health Studies’ CPD framework share the same aims. There are several aims for the programme and these are contextualised within the aims of the modules and the routes of study that you choose to take. If you study a School CPD framework module, alongside students from different professions/employment areas, it is the application of the Aims and Learning Outcomes to your own subject area that maintains the focus on your area of interest on the MSc /Postgraduate Diploma/Postgraduate Certificate.

The CPD programme aims are applied to address the requirements for the MSc /Postgraduate Diploma/Postgraduate Certificate:

Level 7

A1 Provide a flexible educational framework that is vocationally relevant, which meets the professional development needs of the student, as well as the organisational needs of employers.

A2 Stimulate students to become autonomous self-directed learners who are motivated to sustain and advance their own continuous professional learning with a confidence to support the professional development of colleagues and the work of their organisations.

A3 Develop the skills , knowledge, critical understanding and awareness of the depth and breadth of knowledge applicable to their own fields of practice

A4 Further develop the students cognitive and practical skills to undertake data synthesis, complex problem solving, the articulation of competing perspectives and competence in their field of practice

A5 Provide opportunities for inter-professional teaching and learning to share the knowledge, skills and experience common to a range of different health and social care disciplines.

A6 Develop critically reflective, competent practitioners, managers and leaders who will inform and shape or change inclusive, fair and ethically sensitive service provision.

A7 Provide a framework within which the curriculum, where required, meets the regulatory needs of professional bodies such as the NMC and HCPC or is kite marked by the CMI.

A8 Develop the skills required for life-long learning and professional development

Additionally if you wish to study one or more core research modules or management modules for a post graduate diploma or undertake a

Masters dissertation

A9 Develop an understanding of the theoretical constructs underpinning research or project management which will inform the undertaking of an ethical piece of research or a work based project and the ability to demonstrate how the findings can influence practice and policy.

Programme Learning Outcomes (LO’s)

The MSc /Postgraduate Diploma/Postgraduate Certificate Advanced Practice programme learning outcomes are compatible with the Framework for Higher Education Qualifications (FHEQ 2008).

The programme contains nested pathways as well as the flexibility to design your own pathway and the learning outcomes outlined below are contextualised within the learning outcomes of the modules that you study. When you have successfully completed your course of study within the programme you will be able to:

Postgraduate Certificate and Diploma level

LO1 Develop a detailed knowledge and understanding of the literature that relates to your specialist field of practice

LO2 Critically analyse and synthesise the research evidence that informs the development of policy and service delivery in your specialist field of practice

LO3 Evaluate and critically apply theoretical concepts and where appropriate, for your field of practice, master practical skills for the management of complex issues within your field of practice

LO4 Reflect upon and demonstrate knowledge of values, ethical thinking, equality awareness, inclusive practice and demonstrate mastery within your specialist field or practice.

LO5 Develop and demonstrate the ability to articulate sound arguments using a variety of formats including written and oral communication skills

methodologies.

LO10 Design, undertake and report on either a systematic review, a piece of empirical research, work based or management project that contributes to or extends the body of knowledge for your field of practice

Curriculum

The curriculum provides a range of modules that are combined to provide an individualised award. The curriculum for the MSc/PG Diploma and PG Certificate Advanced Practice has been specifically developed to enable you to either study a defined combination of modules to create a specific Advanced Practice award. For example a set of core modules are required to complete the PG Cert in Advanced Practice (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) or a Post Graduate Diploma in Advanced Practice (Acute Care). However, the modular format of the programme and its position with the School of Health Studies Framework also enables you to study a range of Advanced Practice/nursing modules in combination with modules provided across the School that suit your particular learning or employment needs. For example it is possible for you to combine nursing modules with modules from Dementia studies if your employment is in a related field of practice, or to study modules from the Diversity Management programmes. The curriculum has been designed to ensure that it is the application of your learning from each of the modules you study into your specific field of Advanced Practice or nursing that enables you to develop your knowledge and/or skills. The flexibility and range of options means that it is not possible to show a map of all potential possibilities. However, in Appendix 1 you can see the range of Advanced Practice named awards with their core and optional module requirements.

Students on the MSc /PG Diploma Advanced Practice usually undertake one of the School’s taught 30 credit research modules at Postgraduate Diploma stage in order to study a final stage 60 credit research module at MSc level. The final stage 60 credit research module for the Master’s award will require you to complete either a Dissertation, Systematic review, Work-based project. For example, if you wish to undertake the Systematic review 60 credit module, it is strongly advisable to study the 30 credit module ‘Undertaking a systematic review’ module beforehand. For students who choose not to study a 30 credit research module at post graduate diploma level, they can take one of the optional 30 credit modules and if progressing to the MSc level, undertake the 60 credit Management project.

Students can choose to move from a specific MSc /PG Diploma/PG Cert Advanced Practice to the generic pathway within the Framework to meet changing personal or employment needs. This enables them to take a variety of modules that address their learning requirements in the order that they wish, to achieve a final award. If you choose to move from a named award pathway and study a number of alternative modules, you will be informed about when you have enough credit for a post graduate certificate or diploma award. The naming of the award title will be undertaken after the collection of modules studied by you have been analysed. The nature of the MSc /PG Diploma/PG Cert Advanced Practice usually enables a high level of optional module choice whilst still achieving the central components required for this award. However, for some named wards this is not always the case.

Modules maybe delivered on a block basis, or on a regular day each week; different courses have different approaches. Some modules or programmes are available by distance learning packages. When devising your study plan you will be informed about when your chosen modules are being delivered. You will also be informed about dates and times of compulsory attendance at the university and (or) practice placement. Further information is available on request.

Teaching, Learning and Assessment

Whilst following this programme of study, you will engage with learning through a range of teaching methods. These methods will be dependent on modules studied, however student-centred approaches to learning are a feature of the modules and you will be expected to take responsibility for your learning as you develop your academic skills. There are a number of approaches to the manner in which modules are delivered and these include block attendance, study day attendance, distance learning and blended learning. When devising your study plan with your academic advisor, you will be informed regarding which delivery methods are utilised for which module.

The supporting annexes to this document indicate how an example module is mapped to the programme learning outcomes (Annex 2); how the different modes of assessment map to each module (Annex 3); how the teaching methods for an example module are mapped (Annex 4) and how the curriculum maps to the School statement on Education for Sustainable Development.

The aims of the teaching and learning strategies have been designed so that you will be given the opportunity to develop theoretical and experiential understanding (Programme LO’s 1, 3, 7, 11), advanced your knowledge and critical thinking (Programme LO’s 2, 8, 4, 10, 12) and to develop a range of skills appropriate to your professional field your, organisation and workplace setting (Programme LO’s 5, 6, 9). The modules and courses nested within the framework offer you the capacity to acknowledge and build upon the knowledge and skills you may have acquired through previous learning experiences including those in the work place.

Your course of study will expose you to a range of different teaching, learning and assessment strategies required to achieve the learning outcomes (See annex 3). The teaching approaches that are used across the School of Health Studies are informed by the University core values which are for teaching and learning to be: Reflective, Adaptable, Inclusive, Supportive, Ethical and Sustainable. You may experience these across your choice of modules in order to meet both the aims of the programme and your learning outcomes which may include any number of the following:

Lectures: to a group of students where information will be presented and discussed whilst informed by the core values.

Facilitated seminars and group discussion: where learning will be through the interpretation and critical application of information and group learning.

6

Tutorial: where small group number of students reflect and discuss issues related to their learning.

Work-based learning: where learning is directed within the work environment and is reflected upon and then reported on. Or where skills are taught in relation to theory and best practice enabling students to advance their competence in their field of practice.

Use of Web based virtual learning environments: such as Blackboard, to access information and to interact with other students undertaking group work or developing wikis.

Distance learning packages where clearly defined directed study and tasks are available for the student to undertake.

Directed reading: where set reading may be recommended.

Self-Directed learning: Where student are expected to develop their own learning by identifying areas of interest and areas in which knowledge needs to be developed.

Undertaking a work based project or a research module which is shaped by your own self-directed learning needs and the learning outcomes at MSc level.

You will be expected to develop an autonomous learning style and become self-directed as a learner.

Your learning will be assessed against the learning outcomes and programme aims through the use of a range of different assessment techniques which may include one or more of the following approaches:

Written essay

A Reflective Case study

The development of a reflective portfolio

Completion of set number of competencies

Completion of a set number of clinical contacts

Practical examination (OSCE/OSPE/OSIVE)

Computer based Multiple Choice Question examination
