The Professional Advocate (PA) module is a national, Masters Level 7 accredited advocacy course designed to equip experienced registered nurses, midwives and allied health professionals with the skills to support their colleague's well-being and professional development.
At Âé¶¹Ó°Ôº we believe the PA agenda and tenets of the A-EQUIP model to be relevant and essential across all healthcare professions and therefore offer multi-professional cohorts as well as those specifically for registered nurses.
Utilising the NHS England advocating for education and quality improvement (A-EQUIP) model, participants learn to facilitate restorative clinical supervision (RCS), which aim to provide a safe and non-judgemental space for reflection on clinical, professional, and personal development issues. An important aspect of the role is leading quality improvement initiatives based on themes emerging from RCS. The ultimate goal being to enhance staff well-being, increase retention, reduce burnout and stress, and improve the overall quality of patient care.
This module has been accredited by the RCN Centre for Professional Accreditation until 2028. This seal of approval demonstrates our alignment with the RCN’s high quality and standards, reassuring nursing professionals that this Professional Nurse Advocate module has been through a rigorous quality assurance process. Accreditation applies only to the educational content of the module and does not apply to any product.
This module is designed for people looking to take on a Professional Advocate role within their organisation. It’s ideal if you want to support colleagues through restorative supervision, promote staff wellbeing and contribute to quality improvements in healthcare. Whether you’re working in acute, community or specialist settings, this programme will help you develop the leadership skills needed to guide and influence positive change.
