Similar to our MSc Advanced Practice course, this part-time route allows you to apply advanced practice to the specialisation of cancer care.

For a qualified nurse currently working in cancer care, this course provides the opportunity to take the next step to an advanced career role. You'll gain an in depth understanding of the theoretical knowledge and practical skills you need to practice at an advanced level, as well as the ability to critically appraise relevant health and social policy.

You'll also acquire the knowledge and skills you need to address ethical and professional issues, such as the multi-dimensional needs of patients and their families, the interdependent roles of the multi-professional team within cancer care, and the philosophical and methodological underpinning of research applied to cancer care practice.

As a graduate, you'll enjoy increased employment opportunities in the nursing profession.

You'll develop a combination of theoretical and practical skills in this course, including critical thinking when considering the issues associated with practice, knowledge and application of research methods and their application, and efficient approaches to time management, prioritisation and workload planning. You will also learn to recognise and manage the personal stresses of the profession, and become proficient in the use of the latest technologies in the practice of your role.
