Overview

Engage in inter-professional learning on a topic fundamental to delivering public health services - leadership.

We'll equip public health practitioners at all stages of the leadership spectrum to develop and apply the relevant

  • knowledge base
  • research evidence
  • concepts
  • and skill-sets

to be effective leaders in both public and private sector health and care environments.

This module seeks to enhance leadership practice at personal, organisational and inter-organisational levels. We'll discuss core theories of leadership and management and how they can be applied to developing teams to improve engagement and operational performance.

There will be a strong emphasis on personal development. We'll promote a learning community where you can nurture a network of learning relationships to support current and future leadership development.

You will be assessed 100% through coursework.

When operationally appropriate, the University may co-teach this module with the distance-learning run of P44820 (HESC7011) Leadership in Health and Social Care.
