This
unique course addresses the pressures you face to improve performance
in health and social care. This pressure has never been as great as it
is today. Its not simply a question of hitting targets and improving
services - increasingly managers are required to redefine the
nature of their role and radically ramp up the level of service
delivery.
At
CareandHealth we have resolved to move away from an approach
that simply generates incremental improvements. Instead we have
developed a series of mutually reinforcing modules that will raise the
bar for management development throughout health and care, equipping
managers with the skills required to lead their organisations to new
levels of performance and productivity in both patient and client
care.
Our
programme is aimed at aspiring and experienced managers in health and
social care wishing to develop their skills in a rapidly changing and
increasingly complex environment, as well as clinicians of all
disciplines moving into operational management roles within their
organisation. The course has been successfully run over the past
three years, and will commence again on the 18th September
in London and on the 14th of November in Manchester.
The
course is an integrated 10 month course running with a module a month.
Click here to see the module dates.
The
course results in a dual award - a
City & Guilds Graduateship and a
CIPFA
accredited Certificate, therefore meeting corporate needs as well as
benefiting the individual. Attendees are encouraged to carry out a
supervised project/ service review during the programme which will
make a positive impact to performance delivery within your own
organisations.
The
programme takes into account recent government initiatives as well as
leading edge developments in the discipline of performance management.
"Great teachers teach, but also inspire"
We
want the people in our programmes to be part of the wave of
progressive management that is redefining the agenda for management in
health and social care. Not to simply attend a programme, but to
become part of that programme. To move towards developing 21st Century
health and social care using 21st Century management tools and
techniques.
We
are proud that these programmes will be led by world renowned
management coach,
Dr. Phil Barden, and also include a combination of leaders from
academia, the social care profession and management training experts.
They will impart you with knowledge and the inspiration to lead change
throughout your organisation.
Ongoing personal mentoring will be provided during the courses and the
interchange between yourself and your course colleagues will be
enhanced through the use of an electronic forum; this will facilitate
public and private discussion between both students and tutors.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT)

social care is ICT skills. Often this is about keeping records
(electronic patient records and other types), writing reports, email
communication and personal development etc.

has been validated by
health and social care professional bodies as the qualification of
choice and will be beneficial in your current or proposed future work in
this sector. Visit the websites of your local colleges to

Knowledge sets are sets of key learning
outcomes for specific areas of work within adult social care. They are
designed to improve consistency in the underpinning knowledge learnt by
the adult social care workforce in England.
It is intended that the key learning outcomes within each knowledge set
will be used by employers to develop in-house learning and by training
providers, publishers and awarding bodies to produce learning
programmes, resources (cd-roms, videos, workbooks) and, potentially,
awards. The key learning outcomes are intended to provide minimum
standardised outcomes that employers may use either to produce their own
in-house learning or learning packages or as a benchmark when buying in
learning provision or learning packages.
