You will need to demonstrate your ability to study at Masters level, evidenced within your application by your prior studies and/or experiential learning.

Your employer must also confirm that you are suitable for the role of advanced clinical practitioner in their organisation, with access to the appropriate workplace environment to gain relevant clinical experience throughout the programme, including appropriate clinical supervision by a designated Coordinating Education Supervisor and Associate Workplace Supervisors to meet Health Education England (HEE) requirements.

Working with your employer/workplace organisation, you should have a suitable job role identified for when you are qualified, compliant with the requirements of Health Education England Centre for Advancing Practice, that will direct your programme of study.

Applications must be supported by a reference from your current employer.

An interview forms part of the selection process to confirm that you meet the criteria and to consider your potential pathway through the programme.
