This course prepares students for middle and senior management positions in the health services. It is intended for suitably qualified applicants currently working in positions with planning or management responsibility in health service organisations. The course is multidisciplinary and open to all professions.
The course harnesses the core values of commitment, caring and cooperation in professional clinical practice with management principles and methods relevant to the healthcare setting.
Particular emphasis is placed on the importance of interdisciplinary exchange within small group settings. Teaching is delivered through interactive sessions. Case studies, class discussion and online discussions facilitate the application of learning and ensure that the programme imparts a theoretical framework of understanding whilst maintaining a practical focus.
The programme is continually updated to reflect developments occurring within our rapidly changing healthcare environment. A key feature within the programme is a relatively small class size, which optimises learning for individual students.
The programme seeks to:
* Present principles and concepts of management relevant to the organisation and delivery of Irish healthcare services.
* Discuss current issues in the management of health services.
* Explore comparative aspects of health services delivery in Ireland and abroad.
* Emphasise the advantages of collaboration between professional practice and health services management objectives.
* Analyse the change process within health services and develop strategies for managing in this current climate of change.
* Analyse health policies and their implementation at organisational level.
* Encourage and support students to be innovative in problem solving.
* Provide the necessary supporting research methodology and demonstrate its application to practical problems.
* Create opportunities for students to share knowledge and experience and learn from each other.

ur admission criteria are as follows:
(a) Management experience* within the health and social care systems; and
(b) A recognised third level qualification at the Bachelor´s degree level or above** in a professional discipline.
* "Management experience" refers to experience in planning, organising and managing services rather than simply carrying out a clinical or technical role. Candidates should hold, or have held, positions that carry a management remit. Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to demonstrate in their CVs the level and breadth of their management experience to-date within healthcare systems, in particular any multidisciplinary work experience they might have.
** Potential candidates with Irish nursing qualifications dating before 2002 might be exempt from this otherwise strict entry requirement of a Bachelor´s degree. Other candidates with non-degree qualifications due to the grading structure of their disciplines, are advised to contact the Course Co-ordinator directly.
The above are the minimum admission criteria for entry into the M.Sc. Health Services Management programme. Due to the limited number of places available in each academic year, a Selection Committee makes the final admission decisions according to a predefined scoring system that takes into account, amongst other things, the candidates´ career aspirations and academic track records. Occasionally we may invite short-listed candidates for an interview before making the final place offers.
