Course Overview

The delivery of effective health and social care services relies on strong leadership and management. This programme will enable you to develop an in-depth understanding of the knowledge and skills of the leadership and management needed for the efficient and effective delivery of services in the health and social care environment. We seek to help you develop as a reflective practitioner and gain skills in effective communication, critical analysis, and continuous learning with a clear understanding of the issues and changes taking place both nationally and locally within health and social care.

The programme is designed to take account of the frameworks developed by the National Health Service and the Department of Health and Social Care and is underpinned by a commitment to the value base of health and social care and seeks to produce graduates who are committed to actively promoting the rights and choices of those who use health and care services.
