A close collaboration between the University of Wolverhampton Business School and Telford and Wrekin Primary Care Trust, this professionally tailored, credit-bearing programme leads to a recognised qualification; students gain a thorough grounding in the appropriate tools, techniques and strategies necessary to provide effective management within the healthcare sector; studies initially focus on the role of a general practice manager or other potential manager with a view to providing the necessary tool kit and knowledge to evaluate the environment in which students operate.
