The MBA (Health Executive) programme, established in 1986, was the first of its kind in Europe. It provides senior managers, policymakers and professionals concerned with health and health care with a top-level qualification which enhances both career and intellectual approach to the subject. The MBA offers an advanced scheme of study involving knowledge, skills and techniques which can variously be applied to any health services agency or health related organisation in the public or private sector. Recent graduates are Chief Executives in the NHS (and overseas), board level directors of hospitals, health authorities and in primary care organisations and senior doctors and nurses.
The MBA is both a professional qualification and contributor to generic skills in health policy and management. It provides the traditional MBA options and core courses with an innovative approach to developing health and health care agendas.
Course participants will:
* Acquire a solid grounding in the corpus of leadership and management related subjects
* Develop a range of analytical problem-solving and decision-making skills
* Extend existing interpersonal skills
* Gain new knowledge and insights into the nature of the health policymaking process
* Appreciate more fully the social, economic and political environment in which their organisation operates
* Be equipped with a wider and deeper understanding of the strategic challenges facing the health sector, in order to manage them better
* Enhance career potential and capacity for lifetime self-learning and self-development
Contents
The MBA comprises 6 taught modules (each of 20 credits) plus a research project leading to the writing and submission of a dissertation (60 credits). The taught element of the programme is spread over 2 years. The teaching for each module lasts one week with a further 4 weeks allowed for submission of the written assignment. The whole programme, including the dissertation, normally takes 3 years.
The 6 taught modules are as follows:
* Economics and Management – The aim of this module will be to familiarise students with the key analytical concepts and methodologies of health economics, in order to increase their capabilities in applying these to the planning and management of health services
* Health Policy and Strategy – This module aims to provide a synthesis of policy and management objectives, skills and techniques to expose students to opportunities and issues in the process of policy formulation, implementation and review
* Management Science – The module aims to develop a numerate approach to the challenge and practice of management, by means of both well tried and experimental techniques and the concepts of statistics, operations research and computing
* Management of Human Resources – This module increases students’ understanding of, and ability to manage, the human aspects of the health care business. The module focuses on key issues associated with leading and managing health care organisations, and explores more traditional aspects of human resource management (such as workforce planning, employment law, the human resource function and performance management)
* Accounting and Financial Management – The objective of this module is to provide candidates with an appreciation of the nature and analysis of budgets, costs, and activities, and an understanding of resource management and financial information systems in the health sector
* Operations Management – This module provides insight into the major requirements to be met in the design, planning, operation and control of hospitals and community health services
