Principles and Foundations in Integrated Care (15 Credits, Level 7)

About

Introduction

In a nutshell

Aimed at healthcare professionals working in a community setting, this module aims to support you to critically evaluate theories and strategies in integrated care and public health and then apply these theories into practice. You will have the opportunity to develop a local case study to explore the social, political, and historical factors shaping local, national, and international health care provision. The module will also enable the exploration of how integrated care is being applied within professional disciplines and the wider health and social care system.

You will be encouraged to explore your own professional perspective, but also work with colleagues from a range of disciplines to gain an understanding of how integrated is affecting practice and service delivery.

This module is offered within the Advancing Integrated Care MSc - General Practice Nursing - but can also be taken as a stand-alone module.

Attendance is part-time, delivered one day per week online. You will also have the opportunity to spend one day on campus for a clinical skills session.
