About this course

With an innovative blend of leadership theory, contemporary healthcare policy and active application to practice, we equip clinicians, leaders, commissioners and managers to develop their knowledge and understanding of healthcare leadership. Uniquely, we focus on clinical expertise and clinical contexts in depth, alongside research and implementing change in practice.

Who is it for?

Our multidisciplinary approach brings clinicians, leaders, commissioners and managers together from all parts of the health and care system, offering a rich learning environment to build links with colleagues from other professions and services.

Key areas of study • Leadership and change management in clinical services • Commissioning for quality care • Quality, safety and service improvement in clinical services • Principles and practice of public health • Research methods and critical appraisal • Economics of health and health-related behaviour

What are the benefits?

We have been offering in-depth academic study of healthcare leadership and commissioning at BSMS for over 10 years. Our graduates will apply their range of specialist skills to real healthcare challenges. They will conduct research and enquiry into challenges to the dominant 20th century models of healthcare and help to shape healthcare for the 21st century.

Students can also exit with PGDip and PGCert awards.
