Developing Academic and Management Skills for Healthcare

Module Code: MN7441

This module aims to equip you with the academic study tools and techniques necessary to complete your programme of studies. In doing so, this module aims to help you to develop the organisational, critical reading, studying, writing skills, and critical thinking, which will underpin the rest of your modules and which, as transferable skills, will enhance how you develop in your role in healthcare management. 

Throughout the module, you’ll look at practical study skills such as time management, effective note-taking and reading for research. This will help you to reflect upon the processes and practises associated with effective teamwork, especially building sustainable team relations based on managing team diversity, and ensuring inclusions in practice and outcomes.

Exploring these skills will enable you to appreciate the variety of educational cultures among co-students, especially in different national cultures. You’ll become adept at navigating and adapting to studying in the School of Business specifically, and the UK higher education sector generally.  

You will also explore how to apply your critical thinking to the context of healthcare management. You will learn how to rapidly assess different kinds of information and evidence, summarise information and develop a case for change.  You will practise these skills in a range of exercises designed to simulate the challenges found in a variety of healthcare management settings.
