          Strategic leadership for healthcare 
           
          Healthcare is in a constant state of change to meet the evolution of healthcare services and public health 
          goals. Facing challenges in all directions – including demographic changes, rising costs, new 
          technologies, the private-public healthcare interface and the ongoing management of Covid-19 – the 
          healthcare sector needs strategic leaders more than ever. 
          Required to make strategic decisions in response to a range of changing priorities, healthcare leaders 
          must steer healthcare organisations through daily challenges. This course will guide current and aspiring 
          healthcare leaders through the complexities of leadership roles using a balance of theory, self-reflection 
          and interaction. This will help to develop different responses and approaches within changing contexts. 
          Delivering the ability to evolve healthcare services and achieve public health goals, our Strategic 
          Leadership for Healthcare short course will equip you with an in depth understanding of strategic 
          leadership in healthcare settings.
