Welcome and thank you chosing this opportunity for becoming the End Point Assessment (EPA) Assessor for Manchester Metropiltan University. We are excitied that you have joined the team and will be supporting our apprentices to complete their Masters in Advance Clinical Practice.
The Advanced Clinical Practice Master’s Degree Apprenticeship at Manchester Metropolitan University, is designed for experienced clinicians to develop expertise in their scope of practice.
“Advanced clinical practice is delivered by experienced, registered health and care practitioners. It is a level of practice characterised by a high level of autonomy and complex decision making. This is underpinned by a Master’s level award that encompasses the four pillars of clinical practice, leadership and management, education and research, with demonstration of core capabilities and area specific clinical competence.”
Definition of Advanced Clinical Practice (Health Education England, 2018)
All apprenticeships are assessed via the end-point assessment (EPA) whereby the final 20 credits of the master’s programme are reserved for a synoptic assessment that assesses apprentices across all aspects of the IfA standard. The EPA for this programme is integrated within the curriculum, ensuring that apprentices are successfully awarded the MSc Advanced Clinical Practice Degree Apprenticeship.
The EPA ensures that the student has achieved the expected standards. All assessors need to understand the key behaviours that we are looking for in a candidate's EPA. This training session will present you with some sample questions and answers and ask you to highlight the key elements in the answers that demonstrate knowledge (or lack thereof) of the key behaviours and knowledge which would be expected of a Level 7 apprentice.
