MSc Surgical Care Practice

... United Kingdom
... Edge Hill University

Course Overview

This innovative Master's degree is suitable for qualified practitioners who have been appointed to surgical care practice training posts within surgical directorates. Your role should encompass the provision of care and appropriate intervention within the perioperative environment, onward,s and/or in clinics (usually within a specified surgical specialty).

The program will provide you with a systematic and critical understanding of the breadth and depth of knowledge within specific areas of practice. You will develop core and specialist surgical skills and extend your knowledge and practice within the surgical care environment. This will include some operative procedures that will enable specialist practitioners to provide continuity of service and standards of care to patients in areas that do not necessarily need to be provided by medically qualified staff.

General Eligibility

To join this MSc, you must be a registered healthcare practitioner employed in a suitable working environment.

The minimum requirement is a degree equivalent to UK first-class or second-class honors (2:2 or above) in a health or social care-related subject, with evidence of at least 18 months post-registration experience. If you do not have a degree at 2:2 or above but have been employed as a trainee surgical care practitioner, you may still be able to gain entry to the course if you can demonstrate evidence of study at the undergraduate level (minimum 20 credits at Level 6) within the last two years.

It is anticipated that all students joining this course will have extensive subject knowledge or work experience in their chosen field as all of the assessments involve the relation of theory to practice. An interview will form part of the selection process.

You must provide written approval from your organization to confirm that they support you joining the course, while a surgical supervisor in practice must be identified to support your surgical skills development. You will need to be employed as a trainee surgical care practitioner on a supernumerary basis for the duration of the course.

Disclosure and Barring Services (DBS) Enhanced Disclosure and occupational health checks must be provided by your employer.

In addition, you must complete a two-day Basic Surgical Skills Workshop, delivered by Edge Hill University and accredited by the Royal College of Surgeons, prior to the start of the course.
