Overview
At the Robert Gordon University studying the MSc Advanced Nursing Practice will be prepared to function at master's level through the programme and will have the unique opportunity to develop practice at a higher level. In the past 'advanced practitioner' posts have tended to be characterised principally by clinical competence; however, this programme accepts that advanced practice is a 'level' of practice rather than a particular role. This Advanced Nursing Practice programme from Robert Gordon University takes into account the four pillars of practice: clinical practice; leadership; facilitation of learning; and evidence research and development. Therefore, some practitioners will focus on leading and managing services; others will focus on clinical practice and be able to diagnose and treat healthcare needs; and others will have advanced roles within public health.
There are five routes within the programme:
- Clinical Practice
- District Nursing
- Health Visiting
- Leadership
- School Nursing
Job Prospects
The programme recognises the accepted international benchmark for advanced practice and trains you to be highly experienced and educated member of care teams who can diagnose and treat healthcare needs or make a referral to an appropriate specialist.
This programme will prepare you for an advanced clinical role in a range of healthcare settings.
