Health & Social Care

This course is designed to support the promotion, development and sustainability of effective leadership within health and social care. It enables you to develop transformational approaches to leadership within your organisation, to work collaboratively across a range of multi-professional settings and to create and sustain organisational change to improve patient and client care.

How you learn

Staff use a virtual learning environment called e@tees to give you access to learning materials, electronic links to key documents and to enable you to communicate with course staff and other students. In addition you can access tutorial guidance through email or telephone. Each module team arranges group tutorials throughout the programme to answer any questions related to the academic support for the programme and to explain the assessments in more detail.

How you are assessed

Assessments require you to evidence your learning in each module by applying theory to practice. You need to demonstrate a critical and comprehensive understanding of theory and the application of service improvement tools and techniques to a change that you initiate in your practice area. The assessments have been specifically designed to capture the learning journey through the programme and the application of theory to practice.

Entry requirements

Applicants should normally have an honours degree in a health or social care-related subject or in leadership or management. Applicants with other qualifications and experience may be considered if they can provide evidence of their ability to study at master’s level. Such applicants are invited to discuss individual needs with the programme leader. You also need to be in a position in your organisation which enables you to introduce and support research-based transformational change.
