This module aims to enable you to develop management skills and knowledge by providing the opportunity to explore, critically, concepts, principles, skills, attitudes and behaviours associated with managing effectively in health and social care settings. You will also have the opportunity to apply a range of concepts within your own practice setting.

The running of this module is dependent on there being sufficient numbers of interest.

- Critically reflect on the manager's role in relation to monitoring of quality, standards and risk and apply this in the context of your own role and field of practice.
