As part of a suite of courses covering Maternal and Child Health at University of the West of Scotland, study on the MSc, Postgraduate Diploma and Postgraduate certificate in Maternal & Child Health in Advanced Neonatal/ Paediatric Practice will focus on advanced neonatal practice or advanced paediatric practice.

Advanced practice is about a level of practice, rather than a specific role or title, but is applicable across both practice and professional contexts. This course aims to develop highly knowledgeable and skilled postgraduate neonatal/paediatric practitioners who wish to further progress their knowledge, skills and competence relevant to advanced neonatal or paediatric practice.

A key feature is the multi-professional nature of shared learning to advanced practice education. Shared learning is advocated as a way of breaking down professional boundaries and aids in developing a more cohesive approach to practice. Therefore, some of the modules are shared between neonatal and paediatric students, with subject specific learning taking place together; students will then be expected to contextualise this learning and apply it to their own specific practice settings.

Entry Requirements

All applicants: must either be registered nurses on parts 1, 2 or 3 of the NMC professional register; equivalent regulating body in other countries or registered allied health professionals (e.g. Physiotherapy,
Speech and Language Therapy).

All applicants should normally possess a degree or equivalent; have a minimum of 2 years’ experience in
a neonatal/paediatric specialty.

Admission may be considered with relevant previous academic credit and/or prior learning.

Northumbria has an enviable reputation for its practical, innovative LLM programmes, which are accessible to a wide range of professionals.

The linked award structure of our distance learning LLM programmes gives students flexibility in their studies. Students enrol on and complete each stage of the programme,all of which are at Masters level, before choosing to move onto the next stage or choosing to exit with the relevant award. The stages are Postgraduate Certificate, Postgraduate Diploma and LLM.

Each part of the programme is treated as a separate and distinct award – successful completion of the 60 credit Postgraduate Certificate stage, comprising three modules, is therefore an entry requirement for the Postgraduate Diploma stage and successful completion of the 60 credit Postgraduate Diploma stage, comprising three modules, is an entry requirement for the LLM stage. Completion of all three stage leads to the award of LLM.

The LLM in Mental Health Law Policy and Practice has been written and developed in close consultation with the Institute of Mental Health Act Practitioners (IMHAP) with the aim of providing in-depth training to IMHAP members as well as those who specifically work within the field of mental health administration. It combines an in-depth study of the law, policy and practice relevant to mental health with the flexibility of distance learning.

This innovative programme is open to a wide range of students. The programme will appeal to those students who have successfully completed the IMHAP certificate in Mental Health Law and who would like to progress to a Postgraduate Certificate, Diploma or Masters Degree in Mental Health Law Policy and Practice. It will also be of interest to administrators, social workers, hospital nursing staff and other health care personnel who are involved in the field of mental health allowing them to gain a postgraduate qualification whilst still pursuing their careers.

This programme is taught on a distance learning basis and takes 2.5 - 3 years to complete to masters level, depending on the route chosen and the availability of advanced standing. Each module is taught from a practical viewpoint, enabling students to both understand and apply the relevant law. Students are guided through each module by comprehensive study materials written by expert practitioners in each field.
