Service Design and Improvement:

This module is designed to provide students with some of the key skills required to objectively evaluate an existing health and fitness related service, design a new or improved service, and make the case for the new service to be brought into existence. Students will also learn about the key management and leadership skills required to bring about innovation in service delivery, and how to deal with the inevitable resistance which trying to bring about a new state of affairs inevitable brings.

This module will use a “blended” method of delivery. The assessment requires you to critically analyse and evaluate some aspect of an existing health related service or programme and write a Business Case for a new health related service.
