MSc Advanced Clinical Practice (Paediatrics & Child Health)

The combination of an individually tailored pathway and a strong emphasis on work-based learning will allow you to demonstrate the academic qualification, competence, and capabilities that are aligned to the Multiprofessional Framework for Advanced Clinical Practice in England (Health Education England, 2017). The Advanced Clinical Practice MSc Programme delivered in partnership by GOSH Learning Academy and Middlesex University has been consistently mapped to the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) Paediatric Capability and Curriculum Framework (PCHCF), ensuring alignment with national standards for paediatric advanced practice. This integrated approach supports learners in developing the knowledge, skills, and capabilities needed to deliver high-quality, evidence-based care to children and young people. By embedding the PCHCF throughout the programme, we ensure strong academic foundations, clear clinical relevance, and enhanced career progression opportunities for ACPs within the paediatric workforce.

Due to the multi-professional, personalised and adaptable nature of the programme, it is appropriate for healthcare professionals from a wide and diverse range of paediatric and child health professions and settings. By completing the programme and transforming your role, you will work at an advanced level of clinical practice, with direct patient care at the forefront, with the other pillars of research, education and leadership/management in an unpredictable, complex and dynamic practice environment.

This can support you in delivery of high quality, safe, effective patient care and to initiate and implement innovative, person-centred improvements for patient and service outcomes.
