Overview
The Musculoskeletal (MSK) Practice programme from Liverpool Hope University has been designed with partners in clinical practice to further develop healthcare professional's expert musculoskeletal knowledge and skills by improving the translation of evidence into practice, promoting critical thinking and advanced clinical reasoning whilst adapting to different environments and considering the needs of diverse populations and communities.
Students will develop knowledge and skills in education, leadership and research and work towards application in a clinical and organisational context. They will have the opportunity to complete mentored clinical practice in order to consolidate and apply theoretical knowledge within an out-patient clinic or enhanced or advanced practice environment. This will give students the opportunity to expand their skills in a variety of healthcare settings.
Full time students shall normally take 18 months to complete the full award. Part-time students shall normally take a minimum of 3 academic years, maximum 5 academic years to complete the full award. The part time route is flexible but registered, on course students, must study a minimum of 20 credits in each academic year.
Career opportunities:
This Masters course will equip graduates with the knowledge, skills and attributes required to be working at or progressing to advanced practice roles within a specialist MSK environment. Graduates will develop expertise within their own field of MSK practice whilst gaining knowledge and understanding of leadership, education and research.
Graduates will be prepared for wide ranging careers in MSK practice such as Primary Care, assessment and rehabilitation roles in the NHS or Private organisations, advanced clinical and rehabilitation roles or they may decide to further develop into careers in healthcare management, health promotion, research or education settings.
This is a non-accredited pathway for students who meet the entry requirements of this course but may not be HCPC registered or working currently as a healthcare professional in the UK.
A route to membership of the Musculoskeletal Association of Physiotherapists (MACP) may be available to physiotherapists with HCPC registration. Students wishing to gain MACP membership must be qualified physiotherapists registered with the Health and Care Professions Council.
