We’ll approach contemporary themes that provide stability, growth, success, and opposing reactions, in healthcare practice and policy. This includes exploring customer service management, modern facilities, and financial challenges. You’ll evaluate an organisation's situation, analysis and selection of strategic alternatives, and implementation and evaluation of their strategic plan. After assessing a range of theoretical and practical approaches to leading change, with particular emphasis on people management issues, we’ll ask you to evaluate the different types of leaders and organisational change which are evident from case studies.
