Play a leading role in caring for newborn babies, and expand your clinical knowledge and practical skills in neonatal care as an advanced clinical practitioner.

Course description

Expand the role you play in neonatal care and the support you provide for newborn babies. This course is designed for registered nurses, midwives and related healthcare professionals within neonatal care who want to build on their experience to become an advanced clinical practitioner.

Throughout the programme, you’ll cover all four pillars of advanced practice: clinical practice, leadership and management, education, and research. You will gain advanced skills in anatomy, history taking and clinical examination, develop your understanding of evidence-based practice and learn how to deal with complex clinical situations and improve patient services. You’ll also cover the training necessary to become an independent prescriber.

You’ll be taught by a multidisciplinary team of academics and practitioners, who are experienced in supporting mature and distance learners. You will combine your university studies with work-based learning under the supervision of a clinical supervisor  – usually a GP – who can support and assess your knowledge, skills and capabilities.

Applying

It can take up to six weeks for an offer to be made. Please do not contact us for a decision before this time has passed.

Before you complete your application, please make sure you have been interviewed and secured a trainee ACP post as this will ensure you have the correct funding and supervision in place.

After this, you will receive a link to a University of Sheffield online application form and be asked to download and complete our ACP admissions checklist. Your completed checklist and all required information should then be uploaded to the application form for your programme. Failure to do this will mean your application can not be considered.

HCPC registrants can also apply if they already hold the independent prescriber qualification.

Accreditation

This programme is accredited by the Centre for Advancing Practice.

NHS England’s Centre for Advancing Practice has been established to standardise post-registration education by accrediting advanced practice courses that achieve the standards outlined in the multi-professional Advanced Practice Framework.

Practitioners who have completed accredited education programmes will be eligible to be listed on the Centre’s Advanced Practice Directory.
