This non-credit bearing project serves as a transition to support you from the taught phase to the research phase of your degree. All the work produced in the project can be carried forward as draft material for the thesis. During the second semester of Year 1 and the first semester of Year 2 you will work on an individual transition project which will focus on further developing your research skills to produce a detailed, high quality piece of work that will be submitted alongside your first progression review report, due in month 7-9 of the first year of the research phase. The project will be formatively assessed and will not be part of the decision regarding your first progression review.

Pre-requisite: Completion Year 1 ( 60 ECTS in route 1 or route 2 of the taught phase) of the IPhD Education with an average mark of 60%.

This module forms the 'capstone' of the taught component of the Advanced Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (ANNP) programme. You will be supported to explore in depth the meaning of advanced practice and its associated concepts (such as specialist practice and expert practice), and to critically consider the theory practice links between the extensive literature debating these concepts and neonatal practice. It will also enable you to critically explore the four ‘pillars’ of advanced practice i.e. advanced clinical practice, education, research and leadership, and to evidence and critically reflect upon your transition to an ANNP in relation to these pillars. The module also equips you to be formally assessed in practice as an ANNP against the four pillars, so enabling you to demonstrate the higher level of autonomy which the role requires, and your ability to make clinical judgements in situations that are complex or uncertain. To achieve this you will undertake assessments both clinical and theoretical which are based on the capabilities published by NHSE (2025)

This module forms the 'capstone' of the taught component of the Advanced Critical Care Practitioner journey. You will be supported to explore in depth the meaning of Advanced Practice and its associated concepts. It also enables you to critically explore the four ‘pillars’ of advanced practice i.e. advanced clinical practice, education, research and leadership, and to evidence and critically reflect upon your development as an advanced practitioner in relation to these pillars. The module also equips you to be formally assessed in practice as an Advanced Critical Care Practitioner (FICM), against the four pillars, enabling you to demonstrate the higher level of autonomy which the role requires. Your ability to make clinical judgements in situations that are complex or uncertain will be considered through an assessment in practice process that is based on the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine, Advanced Critical Care Practitioner Annual Review of Clinical Performance. This takes the form of both continuous assessment in practice via a mentor whom you identify, a tripartite assessment between the mentor, a University assessor and you, taking place at the end of the module and the creation of a portfolio of evidence
To study this module you must be enrolled on the MSc Advanced Clinical Practice - Advanced Critical Care Practitioner Pathway. It cannot be studied 'stand alone'.

This module forms the 'capstone' of the taught component of the Advanced Nurse Practitioner/Advanced Allied Health Practitioner journey. You will be supported to explore in depth the meaning of Advanced Practice and its associated concepts (such as specialist practice and expert practice), and critically consider the theory practice links between the extensive literature debating these concepts and your own professional speciality. It also enables you to critically explore the four ‘pillars’ of advanced practice i.e. advanced clinical practice, education, research and leadership, and to evidence and critically reflect upon your development as an advanced practitioner in relation to these pillars. The module also equips you to be formally assessed in practice as an advanced practitioner against the four pillars, enabling you to demonstrate the higher level of autonomy which the role requires, and your ability to make clinical judgements in situations that are increasingly complex or uncertain. To achieve this you will undertake an assessment in practice in your own practice setting which is based on the capabilities published by Health Education England (2017). This takes the form of both continuous assessment in practice via a mentor whom you identify, and a tripartite assessment conducted by your mentor and a University assessor. Both take place within your own clinical setting.
