Study Details: Part-time, distance learning
Learn how to become a health systems analyst and use the science of ergonomics to improve patient safety and transform day-to-day working practices.
Safety scientists play a major role in preventing unintended harm across many high-consequence industries, improving overall wellbeing and changing the culture of workplaces. Our MSc in Human Factors for Patient Safety will teach you how to design applied solutions for health and social care settings.
The course is ideal for existing health professionals – from both clinical and non-clinical backgrounds - who want to specialise in care safety, risk, improvement and system transformation and advisory roles. These highly transferable skills are also relevant to many other sectors.
A degree from a UK university or equivalent is desirable but not essential. We also welcome applications from those with relevant professional experience plus evidence of ability to successfully undertake the course and benefit from it.
Successful completion will provide part of your evidence to show your suitability to lead or contribute to human factors developments within your health or social care organisation and to move into roles such as:
⦁ Incident Investigator
⦁ Human Factors Specialist
⦁ Healthcare Manager
⦁ Clinical Information Officer
⦁ Director within an NHS Trust
⦁ Patient Safety and Quality Leader
⦁ Leader of transformational change programmes
⦁ Leader of clinical improvement programmes
Students on this programme have the opportunity to enhance their studies with a placement year, gain valuable work experience, and take part in international activities—potentially supported by the Turing funding.
