Overview
The Advanced Clinical Practice (Adult, Child and Mental Health routes) course at the London South Bank University has been developed for both experienced qualified registered nurses and other health professionals working in primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare settings.
Employability
Our graduates are making a positive impact on patient care and service innovation in general practices, urgent care centres, ambulatory care, emergency departments, projects for refugees, asylum seekers and homeless populations, elderly care facilities, “out of hours” developments, rapid response services, intermediate care teams, prison services, acute medical and surgical teams, critical-care outreach and many specialist hospital services.
Other areas include paediatric primary, secondary and tertiary services and retrieval teams. In mental health, our students are making their mark in psychiatric liaison and services for clients with serious mental illness, giving more holistic care that takes into account their physical health existing and potential needs.
Most of our graduates have gained employment as advanced practitioners. Some have gone on to become lead nurses within social enterprises, nurse partners in general practices, representatives on commissioning boards and consultant nurses.
Accreditation
The programme is accredited by the Royal College of Nursing (RCN).
