• SHGM38 Foundations in Research

  The purpose of this module is to provide a critical understanding of the research process and methodological approaches to sound applied research. The module will be delivered in a systematic approach facilitating individual and group learning, and will stimulate the development of research skills that will enable learners to apply them in their work environment and contribute to strengthening the notion and implementation of evidence based practice.

• SHGM54 Understanding Public Health Practice

  This module will enable students to develop their knowledge and understanding of public health practice and its application, linking to the UK Public Health Register (UKPHR) standards or similar. Contemporary Public Health practice case topics will be presented by topic specialists alongside the face-face timetable via recorded presentations supported by a tutorial sessions, and CANVAS resources. Students will select a public health practice area of interest to them (which will be the focus of their written assignment report) from the list of examples below: - Breast screening in ethnic minority and LMIC populations - Diabetes prevention - Domestic violence - Mitigating alcohol harm - Supporting families in the early years through targeted parenting interventions.

• SHGM57 Dissertation (MSc Public Health and Health Promotion)

  This module builds on the knowledge and skills developed in part one of the programme. Specifically, students will be prepared to work independently in order to critically explore the evidence base for a topic of interest or relevance to their own professional practice.

• SHQM00 Psychology of Healthcare Management

  This module explores the psychology of human behaviour within the workplace. It will use concepts from social, health and organizational psychology to examine principles such as group dynamics, motivation and individual differences in relation to management, structure and behaviour in health care organisations. Central issues will include intergroup behaviour and conflict, psychological well-being at work and enhancing performance. Current topics such as the use of technology, changing concepts of careers and the worth of psychometric testing will be debated. Specifically, students will reflect on the role of health care managers in promoting productive employee relations and well-being, managing difficult behaviour and personalities, increasing staff motivation and considering issues of equality and diversity.
