Description Advanced Clinical Practice Portfolio (Year 2) is a non-credit bearing mandatory module within the MSc Advanced Clinical Practice which will facilitate the professional requirements of a portfolio record of academic and clinical achievements required by the Apprenticeship Standards for Advanced Clinical Practice (2018) and the Multi-professional Framework for ACP (HEE, 2017).

The module will promote the formal evidencing of work- based learning supporting the competencies outlined within the 4 pillars for advanced clinical practice (clinical practice, research, leadership and management and education) combined with the theoretical underpinning delivered via the Masters level preparation.

The learning and teaching approaches will facilitate the compilation of robust evidence to support the individual competencies outlined within the 4 pillars of advanced practice, with work-based sign off of competencies from a designated clinical assessor.
Learning Outcomes By the end of the module students should be able to:
  • Demonstrate ongoing synthesis and application of theoretical content acquired from concurrent studies in year 2 of the Masters programme by successful integration of new knowledge and skills into practice evidenced through development of an ePortfolio of evidence, including specialty specific content.
  • Critically reflect upon work-based learning activities during year 2 of the Masters programme and exposures which have informed individual development with respect to the 4 pillars of advanced clinical practice: clinical practice, research, leadership and management and education, demonstrating advancement of practice through these activities.
  • Evidence continuing progression in the clinical, leadership, research and education pillars, over the duration of year 2 of the Masters programme, through the sign off of individual competencies relating to the 4 pillars of advanced clinical practice during semester 3, utilising a taxonomy of achievement scale, building upon previous year 1 attainment in all competencies.
  • Demonstrate an understanding and synthesis of work-based learning and theoretical underpinning through the successful completion of a mandatory viva voce exploring the 4 pillars of advanced clinical practice through work-based experiences during semester 3 of year 2 of the Masters programme, building upon year 1 attainment, including specialty specific focus.

Assessment Methods & Exceptions Assessment
Viva voce: exploring mandatory elements of the ePortfolio during the third semester of year 2.

Competency Sign Off: Clinical Assessor sign off of the competencies within ePortfolio in semester 3 of year 2 utilising a taxonomy of achievement to demonstrate progression in the second year of study, building upon year 1 attainment. Supportive evidence will be provided in the form of an ePortfolio.

The viva voce acts as a gateway for progression into year 3 of the Masters programme.

There is a Pass/ Fail element to the gateway which is a mandatory requirement prior to progressing into Year 3 of the Masters programme.

This meets the mandatory requirements of the Apprenticeship Standards for Advanced Clinical Practice (2018).
