Postgraduate Diploma Musculoskeletal Practice

University of Essex

We understand that you may not have time for a full-time degree, so our CPD pathways allow you to study flexibly in the way that best suits you. The structure, mode of delivery, and level of support allow you to progress towards a qualification at postgraduate certificate, postgraduate diploma, or Masters level. The pathway is designed to optimise flexibility for learners and enables experienced musculoskeletal to advance their practice. A range of professions including physiotherapists, podiatrists, and rheumatology nurses who work in either the NHS or private practice will be able to select modules appropriate for their professional needs. Modules include material related to clinical decision-making and advancing clinical skills such as injection therapy and independent prescribing. There is a great deal of flexibility within this pathway for you to direct your learning to topics and regions of personal interest.
