The Professional Advocate in Healthcare course is designed for Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) and nurses who are preparing for their first leadership roles or embarking on their level 7 academic journey. It is also well-suited for those seeking continued professional development following postgraduate study, such as the MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice.

Upon successful completion of this course, participants with an interest in research may choose to progress to the MRes in Nursing and Midwifery. Alternatively, those who have not yet undertaken the MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice may consider it as a next step in their academic and professional development.
