This module is for registered practitioners working in a clinical practice setting that requires them to use advanced assessment skills in the delivery of patient care.

You are also required to have support from your clinical manager and an appropriately qualified clinical mentor in your practice area. This will need to be someone who has successfully completed ECAS or equivalent, registrar or consultant and is for your ongoing support and supervision only.

The need for nurses and other registered practitioners to develop enhanced/advanced clinical assessment skills has been under scrutiny in recent years, and within this dynamic field there is a constant need for practitioners to consolidate, update and increase their knowledge and skills. Through this specialist module, you will develop your clinical assessment skills, underpinning these with theoretical knowledge based on contemporary evidence in order to promote your clinical and academic development.

We offer three opportunities to study this module during the academic year. Early applications are recommended due to popularity.

Upon successful completion of this module as a standalone entity, credit gained could be utilised as part of the BSc (Hons) Professional Practice in Health and Social Care for level 6 and the PgDiP Enhanced Professional Practice for level 7.
