This Masters (MSc) Transforming and Leading Health Care is designed as a multidisciplinary programme for professionals and managers leading across both health and can be accessed as a purely on line course or as blended delivery.

What's covered in the course?

As health care provision becomes increasingly complex, with greater demand for services and more people with multiple long term conditions plus the shortages of skilled professionals, there is a growing importance on how health care components (workforce/politics/economics/ accreditation) need to improve and transform. Most health systems globally are under sustained financial constraint and rising consumer expectation.

The need to redesign systems is becoming increasingly important. A crucial part of this for health care leaders includes how to manage yourself, and others, and how to use these skills as the basis for continually managing challenges and improvements in health care systems. Leading and managing health services can seem increasingly challenging in a rapidly changing and multicomplex environment, which attracts continual media interest and attention. It is underpinned by a plethora of legislation, guidance and governance which can often leave professionals both bewildered and overwhelmed as inspections and demands of services and organisations continues to increase.

The overall aim of this programme is for you to continue to develop yourself and your leadership and management skills, by understanding and reflect on how people and team’s behaviours and this affects organisations development and ability to improve. The program then explores global health lessons and the relevance to your everyday practice. The programme will develop your research and leadership skills to enhance your critical thinking in both areas.
