Prudent Health and Care Innovation
The module builds upon the fundamental understanding of Prudent and Value-based paradigms established earlier in the Programme. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the underpinning approaches and methodologies in realising innovation for health and care based upon these approaches.Through a case-based pedagogy, it will focus upon practical experiences to analyse how these philosophies align with the challenges and opportunities of practice. It will also consider and critically appraise against wider approaches and methodologies used to inform improved health quality, outcomes and impact.
The module will introduce and draw upon theory and principles of health economics and the range of methods used to understand and measure the value of various approaches to care. The scope for innovation will be explored through social models and determinants of health and care. This will include an understanding of and exploring cases through the prism of the traditional financial systems and processes, identifying opportunities to challenge and change to prudent financial accountability. This will involve knowledge and critical appraisal of a variety of methods including; Opportunity Costing, Value Base Care, Data Analytics, Programme Budgeting and Marginal Analysis and Social Return on Investment.
The module will develop the necessary skills to ensure students are confident to evaluate the theoretical basis of these concepts and their application in practice. Through critically analysing cases and contexts, students will develop greater confidence and competence in measuring impact and outcomes of non-traditional and innovative approaches to transforming health and care. Students will be required to challenge and critique existing methods of assessing value and impact. They will be encouraged to explore, develop and test innovative methods to determine prudent impact and outcomes, using their knowledge and understanding of the situation.

Navigating Innovation and Change: Fundamentals
This module brings the latest insights from the areas of innovation and organisational change management and aims to equip students with the knowledge and tools to navigate key challenges within this space. Its focus is to develop understanding of fundamental concepts, developed through critical appraisal of cases to examine how innovation theory manifests within continuously evolving and complex contexts.
With a focus on co-creation of value, the module will examine approaches to the realisation of new goods, services and processes. Set against a backdrop of rapid technological, global, social and cultural change, students will examine innovation, organisational culture and change through the multidisciplinary perspectives of management, psychology, economics and sociology.
Successful companies and organisations of all sizes are typically characterised by innovation and the ability to be agile. This is increasingly important in today¿s global marketplace but brings with it challenges to product and service development, as well as change in organisational structures, operations and human behaviour. This module will equip students with the knowledge and skills to engage in the effective development of new products and services delivering value through navigating the innovation lifecycle, open collaboration and developing organisational structures that support rapid and sustainable change.
The module is divided into five key themes, the first three of which are a focus for Part 1, with further development and two further themes developed in co-requisite module, Part 2:
[1] A review and critical evaluation of key theories of innovation, strategy and core processes
[2] Innovation networks and multidisciplinary approaches
[3] Disruptive forces
These will be developed further, with focus on application for innovation in Part 2
[4] People, culture and change
[5] Product and service design agility
Based on this learning, students will develop a business case to successfully navigate and overcome a series of contemporary challenges in the pursuit of new product or service development. Part 1 provides the ability to work with fundamental concepts and theories, relating them to real-world concepts. This provides the foundation for Part 2, where students can move onto more application-focused concepts of development.
This authentic assessment reflects practice across sectors, and allows the full range of learning outcomes to be tested.
The module will develop managerial skills, synergistic thinking, critical evaluation and research skills. Students are required to think beyond the current parameters of business subjects to endorse their work. The module is also highly complementary to strategic and leadership elements of the MBA programme.

Health and Care Innovation - Complex Systems, People and Processes
Health and care provision is one of the most complex management and organizational settings. This complexity can be very daunting when multiple organizations are involved in delivering care services (even for comparatively simple patient pathways). Making effective changes to such systems, in the absence of understanding the principles and schools of thought that concern complexity management, means changes are fraught with many dangers and can generate dysfunctional behavior that results in even poorer performance. This course aims to equip learners with the knowledge of systems complexity thinking to analyze and enact more effective and sustainable changes to health and care processes.

Capstone Project
The aim of this module is to provide a capstone experience to students¿ learning, through participating in their own enquiry-based research project, with guidance from an academic supervisor. The project may be laboratory or non-laboratory based, but it will always involve a research question that is drawn from the literature, and focused on a topic relevant to the life sciences. It will ask a research question and involve the critical analysis of research findings. Students will refine their oral and written communication skills to a graduate level through an oral presentation and dissertation on their research findings and conclusions.
