The University of Bedfordshire, School of Nursing, Midwifery and Health Education is seeking to appoint an external examiner for the Advanced Clinical Practice Course.

This is a part-time 3-year masters course which extends over all three semesters of each year. It adopts a work-integrated approach to learning which facilitates the application of theoretical learning within the workplace. Students are required to attend periods of theory-based learning, followed by periods of practice-based learning at various local NHS Trust and Private Health Sector Providers.

We are seeking to recruit someone who is a registered nurse/paramedic/pharmacist that has worked as an Advanced Practitioner for a couple of years following a recognised master’s course which included NMP. Whilst external examiner experience is desirable, we also welcome expressions of interest from individuals new to this role. The successful candidate will be offered an induction programme and will be supported throughout the duration of their tenure.

You will be asked to attend approximately 2 academic boards per year. The specific remit includes review of units at academic level 7.

The term of office for the successful candidate will be for a period of 4 years from September 2026.

Please note that all External Examiner appointments are subject to approval by the University’s External Examiner Committee.
