Healthcare Management, Leadership and Innovation

Overview

The MSc Healthcare Management, Leadership and Innovation programme at University of Plymouth  is designed to be a highly flexible entry into management within the health and care service, whether your interests lie in leadership, quality improvement, innovation methodology, organisation development, patient safety, or education.

Key Features:

• Choose to study part-time (usually over three years) – if you wish to study at your own pace, then this inter-professional and highly flexible programme is for you as you can choose to take breaks between modules according to the demands of your busy personal and professional life.

• Benefit from flexible learning. There are a number of continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities relating to this programme where a single module or specific days within a module may be taken independently. 

• Improve your leadership and management skills – develop your knowledge and abilities as a leader, manager and innovative thinker, appropriate if you are a doctor, dentist, manager or a healthcare professional working in a care environment.

• A blended learning approach with face-to-face sessions, access to interactive materials, electronic learning environment and tutorial support.

• Equip yourself with the skills to plan and conduct a full masters dissertation.

• Choose whether to substitute the research-based dissertation project with a professional or quality improvement project that is directly relevant to the service area in which you work.

• APEL (Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning) is available as an option. For example, if you have completed the Plymouth/Bristol Professional and Generic Skills programme, you may use this in place of the Foundation module.
