The skills required to be successful are changing rapidly and now include the management of resources, budget and staff. These management skills are becoming increasingly important across all disciplines of the UK health sector.
Imperial College Business School is offering the following four components from its MSc International Health Management programme as Continuing Professional Development courses for the healthcare profession.
The courses benefit from the expertise of the faculty in the Healthcare Management group, who are recognised around the world for their research. Throughout the courses the latest theory and techniques are supported by real life case studies and external speakers working in the healthcare industry, ensuring that course content remains practical and rooted in current best practice.
