Advanced Health Assessment PgCert
The Advanced Health Assessment programme aims to support students to undertake a range of advanced health assessments commensurate with the role of Advanced Clinical Practitioners, providing the knowledge, skills and leadership abilities necessary for clinical practitioners to be able to integrate positive
service developments into their clinical setting.
Health Education England working across the West Midlands (HEE WM) is focusing resources on supporting workforce development and transformation in order to ensure the local workforce has the right skills in the right numbers and at the right time to fulfil the future vision for service delivery. It is widely recognised that Advanced Clinical Practitioners have an increasingly important role within the healthcare workforce, particularly considering national supply and skills shortages in the medical and non-medical workforce.
Advanced Health Assessment can be taken standalone or as part of the PgDip in Advanced Clinical Practice (120 credits). Taken together with the Clinically Enhanced Pharmacist Independent Prescribing programme and Nurse Independent Prescribing (approval pending) programme, AHA covers the Advanced Clinical Practitioner curriculum approved by Health Education England. This is a clinical course involving advanced health assessment of patients. You must be prepared to physically examine patients, models and fellow students.
