London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine: MSc in Public Health (Health Services Management)
University: London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
Department: Department of Public Health and Policy
Location: London, United Kingdom
This stream provides a foundation for the understanding of health services management by drawing on a wide range of academic disciplines and to enable students to develop knowledge, understanding and capability in various scientific methods and fields of study that are relevant to strategic management. Changes are taking place in the organisation and management of health services. The aims of these changes include increases in efficiency and cost-effectiveness and the provision of greater choice for patients. In many cases the management of services is being decentralised and greater autonomy is being given to service providers. As a consequence, managers need to acquire new skills to enable them to assess needs, set priorities, contract for service delivery, monitor quality and manage change. The stream is aimed at health service managers, planners and policy-makers or those who plan a career in these fields from high-, middle- and low-income countries. Graduates from this stream go on to a range of management positions in ministries of health around the world, the UK National Health Service, non-governmental organisations, international agencies and management consultancies.
By the end of this stream students should be able to demonstrate ability to apply knowledge of the core disciplines of public health, consisting of statistics; epidemiology; health economics; and social research, to real world health problems. In addition, students will be able to: (i) analyse the principles, structure and functions of health systems, including their financial, organisational and policy-making processes and systems; (ii) critically assess and apply a range of key management concepts and functions in a range of health care settings; (iv) appreciate the role and contribution of economic theory, organisational theory and approaches to management in the field of health care; (v) show competence in critically evaluating and communicating research evidence; and (vi) apply knowledge of effective team-working and communication skills to solve problems and achieve specific goals.
