Advanced Practice in Health Care

Testimonials

"I would highly recommend the postgraduate Health Care programme. It is challenging, enjoyable and highly relevant. It challenges your beliefs and attitudes in a positive way and enhances critical analysis skills, which are highly valuable for any health care professional.
The courses I undertook were fantastic;
"Research Methods and Statistics" provided a strong foundation for embarking on a research proposal.
"Education in Practice" gave a thought-provoking insight into both theory and practice of education in a fun and engaging way.
"Advanced Communication" provided insight into the nuances of communication and emphasised the vital importance of paying attention to our communications with our patients and other staff.
"Providing Spiritual Care" and "Professional Practice in Spiritual Care" although primarily designed for the Health Care chaplain are highly relevant to any healthcare professional. The courses placed emphasis on holistic care and compassion and maintained a patient-centred approach throughout; prepare to be changed in a personal way!
The staff members are very approachable, flexible, helpful and highly engaging. I am very happy that I undertook this course from both a professional and personal viewpoint."

"As a graduate of the University of Glasgow's undergraduate nursing programme, I was aware that undertaking my MSc Med Sci at the same school would mean an excellent opportunity to extend my academic career. However, I was not expecting the changes this choice would mean to my professional working life. To say my two years at Glasgow changed my nursing life would be an understatement; it took my career to a whole other level.

The value of being supported to extend my thinking from that of a frontline nurse, to that of a strategic player, enabled me to have faith in my abilities to persue a secondment in Clinical Risk at my Trust. I don’t think I would have considered that opportunity if I hadn't been at Glasgow. This secondment, along side my MSc and the opportunity to study with like minded professionals, has inspired me to think bigger and better. Two years on since I graduated with my MSc, I now hold the role of Clinical Nurse Educator for my speciality. My dream job. Thank you Glasgow, I couldn't have done it without you!"
