Core modules

Leadership, Culture and Performance
20 credits

Through exploration of the influence and impact of leadership theories, this module supports students to develop an appreciation of values - both personal and corporate- with learners demonstrating how these values underpin sound leadership judgements. The concepts of management, leadership and leader are explored and the impact that these have on team performance and culture is examined.

Collaborating and Partnering for Successful Healthcare Management
20 credits

Students will critically assess the scope and value of collaborative and partnership arrangements, as well as evaluating the impact of organisational, regulatory and legal frameworks on how these arrangements are delivered. The module focuses on shifting the mindset from operational to a strategic level through analysis of the various interfaces with internal and external stakeholders. Students will assess strategies for appropriate risk management which include critical reflection on their own leadership skills in this area.

Strategic Application of Data and Information
20 credits

Learners will understand the strategic value of the use of data and information especially relating to clinical governance. Learners will critique strategies for its effective management. The module culminates with learners using data and information to research an organisational issue or opportunity and to develop a business case for improvement or change. Business cases may explore identified problems or weaknesses. For example, they may be focused on creating new dynamic opportunities in the marketplace, exploring new ways of working or building capabilities.
