Lead and deliver a service of excellence in your organisation

Please note applications for our flexible and hybrid micro-credential “Leading and Managing your Organisation and Service” is now open for February 2027 intake.

Delivered by Dr Mary Collins, the aim of this micro-credential is to equip you with the leadership, strategic, financial and people-management capabilities required to lead a clinical department or service effectively, and to support you in applying those capabilities directly to the organisational realities of your own working environment. This micro-credential provides participants with an understanding of the nature of service and the factors that contribute to excellence in leading service in healthcare through lectures, guest speakers, seminars, readings and assignments.

Participants will develop an understanding of the healthcare structures and their competing demands, the development of a culture of service excellence, the various activities involved in the analysis, formulation and implementation of strategic initiatives.
