Overview

This Clinical and Professional Leadership module will help you gain a systematic understanding of current thinking about the processes of facilitating a culture of collaborative and inclusive leadership within complex public sector organisations.

It aims to help you to integrate the emergent changes in leadership theory within the practice environment and the impact of applying traditional private sector leadership styles uncritically within the public sector organisations.

It explores the relationship between transactional and transformational leadership and evaluates your ability to review, consolidate and extend their knowledge within your leadership role. The module explores how the effects of leadership on clinical teams influence the quality of healthcare.

You will be assessed 100% through coursework.  This module can be taken as a standalone module over 6 weeks or as part of a programme of study.
