This interdisciplinary programme is taught by faculty from the UCD IRIS Centre for Interdisciplinary Research, Innovation and Health Systems and takes a systems and design thinking approach to develop your capabilities in leadership, strategy, innovation, management, quality and process improvement across a range of healthcare settings. 

 

How will I benefit?

The programme will contribute to your personal and professional development by enabling you to identify, analyse, critique and evaluate the ways in which you and your colleagues currently lead and manage. You will acquire the capacity to locate ways of leading and managing within relevant conceptual frameworks and to situate them in systems, policy, organisational and team contexts.

 

You will be prepared to be a more responsive, effective and resilient leader and manager who thinks and practices strategically and innovatively to improve patients' and colleagues' experiences of the health system.

 

You will be equipped with theories, concepts, models, frameworks, tools, techniques and research findings that will enable you to develop a deep appreciation of how the health system works and how you can maximise yours and your colleagues' contribution to it.
