Aims: The present study aims to reflect on, and analyse, one particular approach to the award of a Professional Doctorate.
Background: The concept of the 'Professional' Doctorate offers opportunities for the development of work-based skills which transcend professional boundaries. There is now an established basis for Professional Doctorates with many Universities offering a qualification of this nature.
Evaluations: It commences with a consideration of what the Professional Doctorate is, the philosophy of the Professional Doctorate and how it can impact on professional practice.
Key Issues: The key issues are underpinnings of the Professional Doctorate which is concerned with Mode 2 knowledge and the ways in which the Professional Doctorate can enhance and develop practice.
Conclusions: Conclusions are then drawn which the authors believe will be of use to those managing, developing and studying on, Professional Doctorate programmes.
Implications For Nursing Management: The present study then explores the issues which the authors have experienced over the past 5 years in running the scheme and highlights the potential benefits of the professional doctorate for organizations.
