This module consolidates learning from previous stages of the course and requires you to complete an intensive, independent piece of work. Drawing upon all previous course learning, you’ll develop a high-quality, evidence-based proposal for a clinical practice change in your workplace area which will demonstrate integration of the knowledge skills and behaviours required of the advanced clinical practitioner (ACP).
The proposal will be formulated using level 7 academic processes and criticality, providing an evidence based rationale for the project, designing an appropriate method of implementation and evaluation. You will showcase your acquired level of ACP practice through the project, demonstrating you’ve made the required professional transformation.
