HSMC along with the Centre for Health Innovation, Leadership and Learning (CHILL) at the University of Nottingham have been awarded Education Partnership Funding to develop an introductory course for medical and healthcare undergraduates to better understand the complex systems of care organisation and delivery within which their careers will develop.

The two centres will produce an online set of resources to introduce key concepts and debates regarding healthcare management, financing and organisation. The resources will draw attention to the wider social, economic and political factors influencing healthcare services, as well as develop practical knowledge and transferable skills to inform frontline clinical practice and clinical leadership.
