Our innovative Person-Centred Practice ( PCP ) Framework offers a flexible suite of course routes that will give you a valuable , career-expanding qualification in person-centred practice .
With part-time and full-time options , the Person-centred Practice Framework is suitable for international , United Kingdom and local practitioners who wish to further develop critical thinking , professional reasoning and research knowledge and skills to develop practice in a way that is informed by evidence and that is person-centred .
This framework is for graduates and practitioners who wish to develop their careers in the broad field of health and care systems . You can personalise your learning to your own situation , for example , mental health , social care , infection control , acute care or community health . You can also sign up to study single modules .
Nursing and Midwifery Council ( NMC ) registered nurses already working in , or wishing to work in , the community can undertake a specified group of modules that allows them to achieve a community qualification or registration recognised by the NMC in District Nursing , Health Visiting or School Nursing .
There are two core modules that you undertake to enable you to work towards a PgCert . You then have the option to study modules that are appropriate to your desired option or professional background .
The routes in the Person-Centred Practice Framework seek to influence and enable the transformative processes of personal and professional development through engagement , facilitation and evaluation of personcentred teaching and learning approaches . It is designed to meet the professional needs of practitioners from all disciplines working in a variety of different health and care system settings .
The framework is innovative and interactive , emphasising application of theory to your practice context . It will enable you to critically engage with , evaluate and synthesise the evidence and research to promote the development and enhancement of person-centred culture and practice . This develops a pro-active , transformative and reflective approach to meeting the health and social needs of individuals , families , groups and populations .
We are proud of the varied and progressive approaches to learning which we offer and international students are particularly welcome to apply .

Teaching , learning and assessment
Our teaching , learning and assessment strategy is framed by our core philosophical concepts of personhood , person-centredness , human valuing , healthful relations , human potential and development , and supportive and enabling environments . Central to this strategy is the need for learners to engage in the learning experiences , a readiness to listen and explore , preparedness to be open to experiences and a resolve to keep going . This environment will generate an ethos of engagement where students can explore and challenge theories , practices and different sources of knowledge creatively in an atmosphere of high challenge and high support .
