Learning the language and practices of management

Most clinicians have well developed clinical skills but have had little formal training in management or business processes. In order to address this shortfall the DAMC in partnership with Executive Education at UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School have developed a management programme for clinicians.

This bespoke programme has been developed to meet the needs of doctors in the unique environment of healthcare with a focus on practical skills development through highly-interactive discussions, role-plays and simulations. This programme will provide clinicians with an opportunity to develop and enhance their knowledge of relevant management language, tools and best practice.

Who is the programme for?
The programme is designed for NCHDs who wish to learn about the non-clinical aspects of healthcare delivery and at the same time receive a formal postgraduate qualification (awarded at Level 9 NFQ), which will assist in their career development.
What will I get from the programme?
  • Understanding of key business management principles, practice and tools in relation to healthcare dynamics, financial management and leadership 
  •  Increased managerial effectiveness through the application of theoretical knowledge and practice
  •  Evaluation and appraisal of financial data to improve service development and efficiency
