Are you a clinical or managerial practitioner working within an integrated healthcare team? Are you looking to enhance your career or diversify your current role? Our MSc, PGDip or PGCert in Clinical Practice, Management and Education will provide you with the skill sets needed for future roles in the health and social care sectors.

We have worked with a wide range of clinicians and managers from across the health and social care economy to design a flexible course that meets your specific needs and responds to the challenges faced by the health and social care sectors.

Underpin your career progression and develop a multi-strand career that works in tandem with your clinical practice.

According to the British Medical Association (BMA)^*, a framework for career progression has a positive impact on recruitment and retention, particularly where there are opportunities to work flexibly or to pursue portfolio careers.
