This module will equip the learners with the knowledge and skills to embrace the interprofessional approach to the management of health & care workforce and financial resources.
The learner will make distinctions between health system and healthcare systems, understand disparities, and consider alternative models for local delivery of services. Alongside assessing the impact on health, they will appreciate the value of managing resources in a sustainable way for the future.
The aims of this module are;
- To allow leaders to adopt an interprofessional approach to the management of health & care resources through improvement of operations and collaboration that will cultivate the mindset within their system to create lasting change

This sustainable development will ensure they meet the needs of present generations without jeopardising those of future generations
- To equip leaders with the skills to differentiate between healthcare populations & demand through intelligent population healthcare management. To identify inequalities & the wider determinants of health through effective analysis of local, national & international data. To promote health promotion & the effective use of resources, to minimise the populations need for health & care services
