Enhance your career in adult social care with our Adult Social Care Nursing MSc. This advanced programme is specifically designed for UK Registered Nurses (Adult) working in community settings. Develop the specialist knowledge, leadership and management skills required to deliver high-quality care and optimise services within the complex landscape of health and social care.
On completion, these can be used in different settings, including nursing homes, private, voluntary and independent health and social care services. As community specialist practice roles are diverse, there are also optional modules to suit your personal and professional ambitions, including the Independent and Supplementary Prescribing Qualification, which is recordable on the NMC register so you can work as an independent and supplementary prescriber in your community specialist role.
Integrating theory and practice with direct input and teaching from experienced colleagues in clinical settings, this course will enable you to deliver safe and effective specialist practice to patients and clients and give you the confidence to make higher level clinical decisions, drive consistent developments and advancements in clinical healthcare, and see through strategic or operational change.
The course (for UK registered nurses only) can be studied as a full-time or part-time self-funded MSc or as a Level 7 apprenticeship. Successful completion of the programme will enable annotation of the 'Specialist Practice Qualification' onto the NMC register. You will also receive certification from the Queens Nursing Institute (QNI) as the course is mapped to the QNI Field Specific SPQ Standards (Adult Social Care Nursing), aligned to the 4 pillars of Advanced Practice (HEE, 2017).
