Online Service Sector Degree :: Accredited Universities

The MSc Advanced Practice (Leadership) is aimed at all health and social care staff who are looking to develop their knowledge and skills as leaders within their workplace.

This Master's course is likely to appeal to a wide range of professionals, for example, senior or consultant nurses (or those hoping to move into that role), community matrons/ caseload managers, social work team leaders, managers from prison and probation service, and team leaders working in the public and independent health care sectors.
