Course Summary

The MSc in Advancing Integrated Care has been designed to provide a progressive pathway of master's level study for staff working in health, social care or in the voluntary, community and faith sector with an interest in Integrated Care.

The Advancing Integrated Care Masters has been specifically designed to enable you to develop complex high-level skills within this area. The programme will support you to lead integrated services that improve the quality of care and enhance outcomes for people, professionals, organisations and the wider community.

Integrated Care is developing into the preferred model of health and social care nationally and internationally. As the demographic and epidemiological foundations of populations change. If the person and community-centred aspirations of modern health and social care systems are to be realised then, the clinical and organisational leadership in these organisations needs to radically evolve and transform. This programme embeds leadership in all modules to provide the opportunity to critically appraise and develop the skills to design, and delivery and lead services regionally, nationally and internationally. Students can also exit with PGDip awrad.

You will

develop a critical awareness of current problems and new insights in integrated care informed by academic research, practice and policy

develop advanced leadership skills to design, implement, critically evaluate integrated services and deliver care in-line with the principles of integrated care

develop skills and knowledge in dealing with complex issues relating to integrated care systematically and creatively and make sound judgements in the absence of complete data, and communicate clearly to specialist and non-specialist audiences

WHAT ABOUT AFTER UNI?
