Content
This module will provide an overview of leadership in healthcare settings and professional opportunities that they are expected to be faced by the students. It will consider national and local management across healthcare services and how this changed over the last years. It will explore leadership and what exactly is and how it can be implemented in healthcare settings.
Students will learn about the concept of emotional intelligence and other management strategies that will give them the tools to engage in a leader level across the interdisciplinary team that they will be working on.
