Module code: PHA7091-C
The aim of this module is to introduce students to the UK healthcare system, and theories of leadership, management, emotional intelligence and teamwork in a range of different contexts and across different countries. Students will have the opportunity to consider their own leadership style and reflect upon how this new knowledge could be combined with their previous learning (theoretical or experiential) in order to improve person-centred care in their own organisation. They will also be encouraged to examine the role of the leader both in the UK and in their own experience, in the creation of a supportive corporate culture and management of organisational change. Students will also be introduced to the concept of failure and recovery as a leader and be invited to draw on their own experiences and knowledge of leadership to debate what makes a great leader and how that might change in different contexts. This module introduces the use of reflective writing using different reflective models to enable students to reflect on their own practice and learning needs and develop an action plan to meet them. Students will consider the different ways people learn and how coaching and mentoring can be effectively employed to aid the personal development of others. Students will also be introduced to the importance of a critical approach, both to the literature and when completing assignments at this level. Where appropriate, topic experts will support teaching. Health and social care professionals will also host sessions sharing reflections and experience. Download the PDF for PHA7091-C_2024_5.pdf
