Global Healthcare Leadership

Course summary

This prestigious course has been developed together with Prof Ian Cumming (OBE), Professor of Global Healthcare at Keele University and former CEO of Health Education England (HEE), which will be delivered in partnership with subject experts from organisations including HEE, the Tropical Health Education Trust (THET), and overseas partner organisations.  

Our two year part time programme takes a blended learning approach where you will collaborate with other students as an online community of practice.

The programme provides you with the opportunity to engage with and experience a variety of worldwide healthcare systems through three overseas case study visits. The overall aim is for you to learn from and transpose your leadership and management skills to enhance effective health care delivery within your own organisations and to share good practice.
