I completed the Postgraduate Certificate in Advanced Clinical Practice to enhance my clinical skills and improve service to my clients in the community. I have since progressed on to do Master's degree in Advanced Healthcare Practice. 

Adapting to distance learning was a challenge at the beginning, however I became adept at new methods of research, group work and project management.  

I enjoyed the multidisciplinary nature of the programme which promotes collaboration and networking. I appreciated the opportunities for self-directed learning, as you can tailor your projects to your own research goals. The most rewarding aspect to date has been developing new approaches to research and new avenues of service provision.  I also have a better synthesis of complex issues in healthcare and global public health.  The learning I got from the programme has enhanced the quality of my practice and the service I provide to my clients.
