Course content

This MSc has been directly tailored to address the pressing need to confront contemporary issues in relation to the integration of health and social care. The course seeks to explore the inherent challenges in transforming health and social care policy and practice and is suitable for those individuals who hold strategic positions within organisations as well as individual health and social care professionals who wish to learn more about how to enhance care.

Specifically the course aims to: provide an opportunity for health and care professionals to undertake a critical evaluation of underlying theory, practice and research in health and social care; provide a forum to share knowledge and experience; debate methodological and contemporary issues and enhance practice within a collaborative on-line learning community; enable critique of the conceptual analysis and practical application of integrated health and social care and develop critically reflective leaders, practitioners, managers or researchers who can function at an advanced level of practice and provide leadership in the planning, development and critical evaluation of integrated health and social care.
