The UCLan School of Medicine is offering a series of short courses leading to Postgraduate Certificate, Diploma and Master’s for clinical and managerial practitioners working within integrated healthcare teams. Clinicians and managers can develop and enhance their portfolio career or diversify their current role. The programme allows you to convert your previous study into academic credits towards a postgraduate award.
With the challenging situation faced by the health and social care sector, changes need to be made in the way services are delivered and there is an urgent need to provide clinicians and managers with the skill sets needed for their new and future roles. We have worked closely with a wide range of clinicians and managers from across the health and social care economy to design a flexible programme that meets your specific needs. Not only will this underpin professional career progression, it can help develop a multi-strand career for those who may seek alternative pathways that work in tandem with their clinical practice.
