Course description
LSBU is one of the leading centres for management training in the public and health sectors in the UK. This course has primarily been designed for international clientele: doctors, nurses, administrators holding senior management posts. Our contribution towards more effective health management in countries with developing healthcare systems comes through teaching, research, consultancy and practical relationships with the health sector in Africa, the Middle East and SE Asia.
The emphasis of the course is on planning and managing health services, and the curriculum includes management theory and practice, strategic management, epidemiology, health policy and planning. The programme also includes a three week placement with an NHS hospital.
The course is characterised by an emphasis on practical skills informed by theoretical insights and managerial understanding. Students from over 150 countries have attended the course and come to the programme with existing experience of the health service and or hospital management. The overall aim of the course is to produce knowledgeable, competent senior managers with good interpersonal skills to operate efficiently and effectively in their health services.
The course objectives are to:
– Explore a broad overview of the historical organisational studies and the various contributory schools of thought
– Further develop the participants’ selfawareness of their own abilities and to foster personal and professional growth in self and others
– Enable students to develop a broad canvas of management concepts embracing political, economic, sociological, psychological and ethical elements
– Enable participants to increase their knowledge base and expertise in areas of management most pertinent to their present and/or intended management roles
– Foster the development of confidence in participants’ personal abilities as managers and leaders.
Applicants holding the LSBU PgDip in Health Services and Hospital Management may return and register for the MSc as students with advanced standing. The programme of study will include the Research Methods unit which is a prerequisite to the dissertation units.
