At present, this programme is delivered under contract only. Please view our course page for PgC Management and Leadership in Health and Social Care which is available to independent candidates and includes two modules common to both programmes.
You will be required to undertake the following modules: Coaching and Mentoring (20 credits), Leadership through Transformative Learning (20 credits), Work-based Learning (20 credits). This programme of study is created to align with workforce development and supports professional progression. The 3 modules of this programme are contemporary, and have been tailored to ensure that they meet the needs of the Healthcare and Medical Service stakeholders, and will continue to do so in the future.
Reflection and reflexive practice are core skills that students will develop over the duration of this PGCert using a reflective workbook to record their personal and professional progress and provide iterative evidence for each module and beyond the taught elements of the programme. The PGCert Practice Development: Healthcare and Medical Leadership is one of a suite of programmes within the Practice Development framework. This programme has been specifically developed to meet the continuing professional development needs of individuals who are leading, managing and supervising at a strategic level (or aspiring to do so) within a variety of settings. The programme is designed to enable you to apply your learning to your own professional context.
The development of the PGCert Practice Development: Healthcare and Medical Leadership has been informed by engagement with key stakeholders who require a suite of modules to support management and leadership development for staff at all levels within their organisations. This engagement has ensured that content and delivery methods are appropriate for the needs of a diverse workforce. The importance of the development and enhancement of management knowledge, skills and behaviours for current and aspiring leaders and managers is crucial and the programme has been developed with this in mind.
