Introduction

The health care industry is one of the largest in Nigeria today and it shows no signs of stopping that expansion. This growth has generated an increased need for people who can help manage health related staff and has the ability to lead and manage change needed to operate a successful practice. Furthermore, health care is constantly in the headlines because it involves such a huge workforce and huge budgets, and profoundly affects so many lives. What makes it such a fascinating subject to study is the pace of change as society develops; technology advances and new forms of care evolve.

A lot of Health Management Organizations exists in Nigeria but has a draught of experienced and exposed professionals, to meet this gap Premium Education International Centre, Nigeria and Professional Qualifications Management (PQM) UK (the largest provider of distance learning professional qualifications in the UK) are bringing to Nigeria to professional qualification programs in Health Care Management. The programs include:

i. Professional Masters in Health Care Management

ii. Graduate Diploma in Health Care Management



PROFESSIONAL MASTERS IN HEALTH CARE MANAGEMENT

The Professional Masters in Health Care Management (PMHCM) is aimed at decision makers in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors. The program provides relevant management training and a well respected postgraduate qualification to those seeking more senior posts in primary and secondary health care.



It is to be reckoned that management is an inter-disciplinary affair and the subjects taught must never be treated as compartmentalized. There is a great need that the students develop the capability as to how to integrate the subjects taught in the classrooms to solve any Health and Social Care management problem. The three months long dissertation part of the PMHCM takes care of this. Students research real life managerial problems relating to health and social care from selected organizations in the Health sector and submit reports containing recommendations for the individual organizations.

Program Objectives:
The PMHCM is designed to provide students with the business management skills required to succeed in today’s complex health care industry.
This course aims to recruit health and social care practitioners seeking to advance their practice, and has been designed to meet the needs of students working in a range of roles and service environments.
The programme will equip graduates with the knowledge and skills required to operate at senior levels in today’s health and social care services. A flexible, student-centred approach to teaching and learning will facilitate the development of analytical and critical thinking and the ability to lead and manage change.
Emphasis is also placed on the interrelationship of health services management problems and tasks. The main philosophy of the programme is that health services management can be taught as a unified body of knowledge, applicable to any health service organisation.
Students enrolled in the program study industry relevant topics to include health care infrastructure, hospital operation, finance, and health care management. This programme is open to both experienced and newly registered health care practitioners.
