The programme has an inner city focus, whilst remaining applicable and relevant to a wider student audience. It has also expanded its content to include all aspects of the modern primary care service. It aims to:
* develop the skills, knowledge and understanding of those with, or aspiring to, team leadership and/or management responsibilities in primary health care.
* enhance participant’s understanding of the context in which they – and the primary care organisations that employ them – operate
* clarify the political and social forces and constraints that shape policy, service planning and service delivery
* enable participants to work together to share experiences and to gain insights into the culture in, and difficulties faced by, each other’s organisations
* contribute to the development of individuals and organisations and to their proactive capacity to manage, rather than just cope with, change; and encourage participants to contribute to the development of their primary care trusts
* provide an opportunity for personal development and/or career change.
Contents
Learning is built around five modules of three teaching days each (total teaching is 15 days) which are timetabled at intervals from the end of September to the following April. The modules are:

Teaching includes traditional whole group sessions, small group work, question and answer sessions and some student led seminars. Students’ private study time (a minimum of 10 days in total for the year) should include reading in preparation for and after teaching sessions.
Assessment Five written assignments of 2,500 words on a work related topic – one for each module. Final assessment includes:
