We passionately believe that this course provides the academic theory and real life experience to allow leaders, from both clinical and non-clinical backgrounds, to flourish; equipping students with the academic tools and theory required to deliver cutting edge leadership that can be applied across a multitude of disciplines.
The course has been structured
to assist students in developing strategies and conducting research; forming
the basis for development and the succession of leaders in the hospice
movement.
We aim to:
-
produce well-educated
leaders who can serve the hospice movement at the highest
level
-
provide the academic underpinnings
required by leaders in these challenging times
-
shape a development
framework to inform future development and investment in leadership and
management development for the sector by Help the Hospices
The course is
aimed at people from clinical and non-clinical backgrounds who aspire to lead
hospices in the UK
and overseas. These include:
-
chief executives
-
senior managers

The programme is designed to
be flexible. Students are encouraged to pursue issues relevant to their personal
development within the specific context of end of life and palliative care.
Designed around a series of face to face modules, learning is embedded in the
learner’s working environment.
Previous graduates from the
Masters programme will be available to offer mentoring and support.
Approaches
Action learning sets,
collaborative inquiry, personal coaching and dedicated tutorial support ensures
that individuals are guided through a structured process of intellectual and
personal growth.
Practical work
Between modules, participants
will carry out practical work based assignments which encourage them to apply
learning from the taught material to their particular context.
Assessment
The course is a mixture of
work based assignments and residential programmes; structured to ensure
students are exposed to collaborative learning, a strong emphasis is placed on
linking theory and practice - appropriate to the very real challenges facing
leaders in this sector.
