Study Details: 18 months
If you’re a hands-on health professional with a passion for patient care, our progressive Postgraduate Certificate (PgCert) in Clinical Practice allows you to build on your skills with an entirely clinically-focused curriculum.
At the University of Bolton, we take a distinctively different approach to clinical practice, focusing wholly on patient care and dispensing with traditional modules in less relevant areas such as professional development and leadership. Clinical Practice is built around solution-focused problem solving and patient journeys, challenging students to become exceptional thinkers, safe decision-makers and skilled clinicians. You’ll have the opportunity to build your theoretical knowledge and put your skills into practice safely within our supervised on-site setting.
You should be a health professional with at least a lower second class honours degree (2.2) in a subject relevant to health or social care practice, or recent evidence of relevant study at level HE6 or above. If you don’t meet these requirements but have significant relevant experience, a professional qualification, or show significant promise to excel on the course and have a positive impact on clinical practice, we’ll be happy to consider your application. You’ll be invited for an interview to ensure that you understand the requirements and level of this course and ensure it’s the correct course for you.
