Teaching and assessment
Teaching on campus is undertaken by short courses. Master classes are optional and will enable you to drill down into greater detail on topics relevant to you. This taught element of the programme provides the basis of learning and forms a network of fellow students doing similar job roles in other agencies, with whom you can meet informally to continue learning and complete your assignments.
You will agree an assignment with your work-based mentor and will find solutions in conjunction with your personal tutor and during small group discussions informally off campus and by email.
Career prospects
Current students have obtained promotion to Associate Director and Business Manager. This course will also have high currency for aspiring GP clinical leaders, future Accountable Officers and GP Clinical Commissioning groups.
