The programme aims to enhance skills such as consultation and clinical decision making and leadership; to improve quality and developing practice, leading to the application of knowledge and skills to a broad range of clinically and professionally challenging and complex situations.

Students on this course are mature professionally qualified people who are already competent practitioners with multifaceted experiences. The mainstay of the assessment process is based around individual assignments. Assessments in the various units of the course thus include essays, modified objective structured examination, viva voce, clinical skill portfolio case studies, an assessment in practice and an integration project.

The programme offers a supportive learning environment where there is facilitation of learning experiences and an understanding of the many role conflicts. Teaching is provided by experience qualified advanced nurse practitioners who have a joint role between clinical practice and education. As part of a supportive network available during the programme students are individually allocated to a named university lecturer practitioner.

The course commences each January and October every year and is delivered part-time over a two year period. Find out more about the programme on the Bournemouth University website.
