Develop your leadership skills. Improve quality of care for your patients. Learn how to drive change and innovation in healthcare.
This level 7 short course aims to help healthcare professionals develop and adopt core leadership capabilities and competencies to continuously improve quality of care and patient safety.
These competencies are associated with the five conditions that shape cultures to enable people to improve care, population health, and value, as outlined in the national framework in NHS-funded services.
You'll be required to identify the key knowledge, skills, and behaviours that must be acquired to fulfil the expectations of your role and the award. This will be facilitated in the work-based learning process by identifying core learning outcomes, a clinical supervision process for practice learning, and an assessment process that addresses the requirements of the clinical role and the level of university award.
Upon completion of the course, you may wish to progress onto the PgCert in Patient Safety and Quality Improvement, after which you'd have the option to study at master's level.
The course will be taught on campus on a day release basis, however, there's an expectation that you'll also undertake your own independent studying and some work-based learning to meet the demands of the course.
