MSc Professional Practice (General Practice Nursing)

The MSc Professional Practice (General Practice Nursing) is designed for mid-career GPNs who want to progress their careers and is a really flexible alternative for established GPNs who may not want to commit to a full MSc straightaway or may not want to follow a career as an ACP. The MSc is online and flexible which allows nurses to study at a pace that suits them on a modular basis if they prefer. This avoids the commitment of signing up to a full MSc from the start.

There is a wide choice of modules so GPNs can create a bespoke course that is tailored towards their specific interests and career aspirations. Potential career pathways are developing a specialist interest/ becoming a lead within the practice for a specific area of practice nursing; taking up a strategic or leadership role within the PCN or ICS; exploring a clinical academic role. Non-medical prescribing can be taken as part of the MSc and can be credited in if already undertaken.

An overview is available at the link below but any GPNs who would like to know more or talk through their options is advised to contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and who can speak with them to help them decide which path to take.
