About Program
Program Overview
We understand that you may not have the time to do a full-time degree, so our CPD pathways allow you to study flexibly, in the way that best suits you. The structure, mode of delivery and level of support allow you to progress towards a qualification at postgraduate certificate level. This pathway enables clinicians who have specialised in Hand Therapy to advance their practice. Students will engage in material related to clinical decision making, clinical service quality improvement strategies, and advanced clinical skills such as injection therapy. There is flexibility within this pathway for students to direct their learning to topics of personal interest. We:
- Provide you with critical understanding of the key concepts underlying advanced musculoskeletal practice
- Provide you with the opportunity to acquire advanced musculoskeletal clinical skills beyond your normal professional scope of practice
- Encourage you to contribute to policy-making, planning and evaluation
- Ensure you acquire a range of transferable employment related skills
on-NHS professionals in the creation and delivery of all programmes is vital.
