Working full-time and studying is challenging at the best of times – every assignment you do on this programme necessitates extensive reading around a topic – but the tutors here have structured the course to suit people who work full time, and the personalised service they offer their students is invaluable – Dr Deschu Sahayam, Executive MBA in Health Services Management

Why study with GSM London?

As public and private health care organisations continue to evolve at speed, health service professionals are being required to take a more integrated approach to structuring services, and it has never been more important for medical practitioners and administrative staff to involve themselves with management processes.

This course covers a range of subjects across 9 modules that reflect the needs of Management Professionals currently working in this dynamic and challenging sector.

How will this course support my professional development?

This executive programme has been developed specifically for decision makers in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors.

Whatever your specialist role in the health care sector, you should be aware of the nature of your market and how business considerations will affect your customers.

The course looks at how the disciplines of marketing, finance, and strategic planning impact the way in which health care is delivered.

With flexible weekend part-time study and a range of start dates, this course will allow you to complete the programme with little impact on you professional commitments.
