As one of the leads in the development of the National AHP Enhanced Level Practice Schema and Curricula, the University of Salford is uniquely positioned to deliver a postgraduate programme in Enhanced Practice. This postgraduate certificate empowers you to:
- Apply your professional experiences
- Collaborate with others
- Critically develop your capabilities in your chosen area of practice at an enhanced level
As a health and social care professional, you will develop new knowledge and skills within your specialist area in the pillars of clinical practice, leadership, education, and research, and be able to apply these specifically to your job role. You will be encouraged to challenge practice and theoretical concepts to reflect on your experiences and explore your current and future developments as a healthcare practitioner.
This course offers flexible, bespoke delivery combining both taught and work-based learning to develop new knowledge, skills, and behaviours, enabling you to apply these within your job role. In addition to the core curriculum, you can choose optional days and learning experiences, tailoring the course to reflect your specific interests and area of practice. Whether you're a podiatrist specialising in diabetes, a physiotherapist focused on frailty, an occupational therapist working with children, a prosthetist developing gait and movement analysis skills, or a radiographer specialising in mammography, this course is for you.
If your specialist area is more specific or nuanced, the program's flexibility allows you to collaborate with a tutor to create a personalised learning plan that will work for you.
