This module forms the 'capstone' of the taught component of the Advanced Critical Care Practitioner journey. You will be supported to explore in depth the meaning of Advanced Practice and its associated concepts. It also enables you to critically explore the four ‘pillars’ of advanced practice i.e. advanced clinical practice, education, research and leadership, and to evidence and critically reflect upon your development as an advanced practitioner in relation to these pillars. The module also equips you to be formally assessed in practice as an Advanced Critical Care Practitioner (FICM), against the four pillars, enabling you to demonstrate the higher level of autonomy which the role requires. Your ability to make clinical judgements in situations that are complex or uncertain will be considered through an assessment in practice process that is based on the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine, Advanced Critical Care Practitioner Annual Review of Clinical Performance. This takes the form of both continuous assessment in practice via a mentor whom you identify, a tripartite assessment between the mentor, a University assessor and you, taking place at the end of the module and the creation of a portfolio of evidence

This module forms the 'capstone' of the taught component of the Advanced Nurse Practitioner/Advanced Allied Health Practitioner journey. You will be supported to explore in depth the meaning of Advanced Practice and its associated concepts (such as specialist practice and expert practice), and critically consider the theory practice links between the extensive literature debating these concepts and your own professional speciality. It also enables you to critically explore the four ‘pillars’ of advanced practice i.e. advanced clinical practice, education, research and leadership, and to evidence and critically reflect upon your development as an advanced practitioner in relation to these pillars. The module also equips you to be formally assessed in practice as an advanced practitioner against the four pillars, enabling you to demonstrate the higher level of autonomy which the role requires, and your ability to make clinical judgements in situations that are increasingly complex or uncertain. To achieve this you will undertake an assessment in practice in your own practice setting which is based on the capabilities published by Health Education England (2017). This takes the form of both continuous assessment in practice via a mentor whom you identify, and a tripartite assessment conducted by your mentor and a University assessor. Both take place within your own clinical setting.

The Transitional Research Project is a formative, non-credit-bearing module designed to support students in developing a doctoral research proposal and preparing for the transition from taught postgraduate study to independent doctoral research. Through a combination of independent study and individual supervision, students will develop an in-depth understanding of a selected area of Applied Linguistics or English Language Teaching and explore the theoretical, methodological, and practical issues relevant to their proposed research.
The module enables students to engage critically with existing scholarship, identify a clear research focus, and design an empirical research project that has the potential to make an original contribution to the field. Students will develop key research skills, including literature searching and evaluation, research design, academic writing, and the ethical conduct of research. They will also enhance their ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and construct coherent academic arguments supported by appropriate evidence.
Teaching is delivered primarily through independent research and one-to-one supervisory meetings. These sessions provide guidance on refining the research topic, reviewing relevant literature, developing research questions, selecting appropriate methodologies, and structuring the proposal. Students are expected to prepare written work for discussion throughout the module and receive formative feedback on the development of their proposal.
By the end of the module, students will have produced a 3000-word report that demonstrates a clear research focus, awareness of relevant scholarly debates, an appropriate research design, and the potential to contribute original knowledge to the discipline.
