What you will study
You’ll evolve your leadership skills and your knowledge of contemporary policy, healthcare and the theoretical perspectives on clinical practice. You’ll also develop the ability to tackle complex issues and use your initiative, applying your judgement to important clinical decisions when complete data is absent. You’ll explore and analyse key leadership issues in health and social care, while challenging and debating contemporary theory and practice.
Depending upon your clinical profession*, you may be able to study our V300 independent and supplementary prescribing module to improve patients’ access to appropriate medication. On this module, you’ll gain the skills and knowledge to prescribe safely and appropriately within your area of practice, and in line with current non-medical independent and supplementary prescribing legislation.
*Legally, not all clinical professions are currently able to prescribe so there will be a small number that cannot study the V300 module.
You’ll consider and critically evaluate links between theory and practice, exploring strategies relevant to the facilitation and assessment of learning within the workplace.
