Master of Science - Leadership in Health and Care

This programme aims to develop compassionate & inclusive senior leaders at all levels for local and international learners. It will equip senior leaders to tackle inequalities in services; become key decision-makers and to develop behaviours that will support a culture of learning. Graduates will be able to apply their skills and behaviours to a work setting and become central to setting and implementing change to address health inequalities, improve health and care services and embracing a collective responsibility for the sustainable use of resources.

The overall philosophy is to develop leaders by focusing on the systems around the leader, the healthcare strategy and individual leadership skills. This will form the first half of the programme. The second half will focus on the practical application of the knowledge and skills; linking this to active research to inform leaders behaviours and strategies.
