Diploma / Diploma in advanced primary care management
A postgraduate level diploma designed to develop the skills and competencies needed for managing primary care at scale
The NHS Long-Term Plan and the introduction of Primary Care Networks (PCNs) sets out significant change for primary and community care. The introduction of Primary Care Networks (PCNs) is transforming primary care services and provides new opportunities as well as a range of challenges. Those leading on the development and delivery of these new networks and models of care require strong and robust leadership skills as well as the knowledge and insight to successfully drive the future of primary care.
The HFMA has worked in association with Capsticks and the NAPC to deliver the Diploma in advanced primary care management, a masters level programme that enables learners to develop their skills, knowledge and ability to successfully manage primary care at scale.
"The NHS law, policy and governance module was eye-opening, and I learnt so much. Our tutor really bought the topic to life and I loved how he summarised and shared learner feedback from the discussion board, giving us the opportunity to learn from one another and not just him.”
