Dr Patrick Marshall: So, my name is Patrick Marshall, Doctor Patrick Marshall, and I am the Programme Director for the MSc in Healthcare Leadership at the University of Hull, and it's their online offer.

What makes this MSc really stand out?

We've shifted quite quickly and quite radically in terms of how you can actually deliver high quality postgraduate learning. And I think that's one of the key features and certainly why here doing this is because it's an exciting place to be.

And indeed, this MSc's also got a global reach. So one of modules, you know, refers to the global perspective, which I think is really important, that understanding of the global context, you know, we are one planet and the way we solve problems, you know, may well have been worked out by other people, rather than we've got to reinvent the wheel again. I think is really important.

What will students learn from this course?

I mean, for me, one of the most profound skills that all postgraduate education gives you is reflection. This is a much deeper form of looking at a situation from a critical point of view, and that basically means going underneath the depths of something. So it's not just, it is acknowledging the emotional impact, but it's also understanding all the moving parts of a of a problem. That professional reflection is a fundamental part of what all Masters studies are, particularly this one.

The art of leadership, and I do believe it's an art, is that you can somehow navigate all of those different and dynamic moving parts of a problem. You can deal with people in a way which is appropriate and authentic and real and compassionate, and you can achieve for your customers, your patients, the people who are you are receiving your services, something which actually makes a difference.
