MODULE 5: PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION
Starting with the outcomes and indicators of success, this module will progress through examples of different types of evaluations and explore how each is best suited to answer specific research questions. You will also learn practical skills such as understanding the resource requirements to implement different evaluation designs and the implications of different evaluations for communicating with different stakeholder groups.
MODULE 6: CORE SKILLS IN HEALTH SYSTEMS RESEARCH AND PRACTICE
This unique module focuses on cross-cutting topics that increase your employability as a graduate of this MSc. It runs across all three terms in parallel to the other modules, emphasising practical skills that are essential for understanding and undertaking health service diagnosis, intervention design, implementation, and evaluation, as well as the subsequent dissemination of the findings from the work to ensure tangible impact in the real world.
MODULE 1: HEALTH SYSTEMS AND HSIE FOUNDATIONS
You will begin the MSc with an introduction to the concepts of a “health system” and its key components, including health system governance and health service delivery. This module serves to put the course in context within the wider field of global health and delve into foundational concepts that frame our approach to health service improvement and evaluation throughout the course.
MODULE 2: THE METHODS TOOLBOX - GATHERING AND ASSESSING EVIDENCE
This module covers topics related to research methodologies and methods used in health services implementation and evaluation, introduction to epidemiology and statistics, study designs used in health services research and evaluation, evidence synthesis, and critical appraisal of existing evidence and literature.
MODULE 3: INVESTIGATING CONTEXT: SAFETY, QUALITY AND HEALTH SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
This module focuses on the aims of health services, as well as how to investigate health service delivery and “diagnose” system challenges. Typically, health services are expected to deliver high quality, safe healthcare that then results in good outcomes. Taking different health system, population, and user perspectives, you will be able to appraise the different dimensions of quality and safety and how important outcomes may vary depending on one’s perspective.
MODULE 4: DESIGNING INTERVENTIONS AND PLANNING IMPLEMENTATION
Module 4 focuses on equipping students to design robust, theory-driven, and context-appropriate interventions, services, and programmes. You will learn how interventions and programmes contribute to improving quality, safety, and health outcomes, and will use theory to unpack the mechanisms through which these improvements work.
