Enhanced Clinical Practitioners work in multidisciplinary environments. The apprenticeship enables participants to develop opportunities to engage with other healthcare professionals and services across the care system and alternative models of care delivery.

• The apprenticeship aims to enhance experience enabling participants to continue to provide excellent complex care to individuals in a variety of healthcare environments.
• The modules on the specialist pathways concentrate on specific themes around Critical Care Practice, Contemporary Rheumatology Practice (BSc route only), Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, Neonatal Practice, Heart Failure (PG Diploma route only) and a Generic Practice route.
• The apprenticeship is a blended model of delivery, using a mixture of online and in-situ teaching dependent on the module studied.

The Enhanced Clinical Practitioner Apprenticeship offers the opportunity to undertake flexible study culminating in either a BSc or Postgraduate Diploma. If successful in completing the Postgraduate Diploma, participants will have the opportunity to undertake an advanced work-based practice project module, to enable them to achieve an MSc.
