Surgical Care Practice MSc

This Masters degree is designed for qualified practitioners who have been appointed to surgical care practice training posts within surgical directorates. As part of your role, you will provide care and appropriate intervention within the perioperative environment, on wards and/or in clinics, typically within a specified surgical specialty.

The programme provides a systematic and critical understanding of specific areas of practice, allowing you to develop core and specialist surgical skills, and extend your knowledge and practice within the surgical care environment. The goal is 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.

There are eleven specialist pathways available, including MSc Surgical Care Practice (Cardiothoracic Surgery), MSc Surgical Care Practice (General Surgery), MSc Surgical Care Practice (Gynaecology), MSc Surgical Care Practice (Maxillofacial Surgery), MSc Surgical Care Practice (Neurosurgery), MSc Surgical Care Practice (Otorhinolaryngology), MSc Surgical Care Practice (Paediatric Surgery), MSc Surgical Care Practice (Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery), MSc Surgical Care Practice (Trauma and Orthopaedics), MSc Surgical Care Practice (Urology), and MSc Surgical Care Practice (Vascular Surgery). Through these pathways, you can gain a specialist understanding of different surgical specialties, develop your skills and knowledge, and progress in your surgical care practice training.
