The ladder to leading quality care
Quality and safety are crucial to healthcare. Study health care management, and help to protect the integrity of our world-class system.
Quality care and safety are two elements at the heart of every healthcare professional. But as many know all too well, investigations into adequate patient care remain frequent.
That’s where the Master of Health Care Management from Murdoch University comes in. Designed with the health industry’s growing focus on safety in mind, it allows you to develop research and practical skills that will open doors to management.
Hot topics in health
Associate Professor of Nursing at Murdoch University, Vicki Cope, deems ‘quality of care’ and ‘safety’ as health’s hottest topics of today.
“Healthcare professionals who want to climb the career ladder should tap into this course… given the amount of enquiries that go into care, this type of course is really important.” Vicki says.
As a former Manager of Practice at the Nurses Board of Western Australia, Vicki knows the benefit of postgraduate study first-hand.
“We know that higher-educated healthcare professionals at the bedside within leadership and management roles give higher quality care to clients, patients and residents.” she says.
