Scholarship applicants must be eligible for a Commonwealth supported place under the HECS-HELP system and have approval from their direct line manager and hospital executive when completing the scholarship application form. Students must also be enrolled in a minimum of one unit per semester for the duration of the course.
Calvary is pleased to inform that the Graduate Certificate in Health Service Management (Safety and Quality) is now available at the University of Tasmania.
This new course is a result of a collaboration between the NSQHS and the University of Tasmania.
The course is designed to introduce training on healthcare safety and quality, particularly the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards, is part-time and is delivered online, with optional half-day masterclasses.
The Graduate Certificate in Health Service Management (Safety and Quality) is open for enrolment now, and for a limited time the University is providing a 100% HECS fee waiver through the Calvary Scholarship program. This is a fantastic opportunity for managers and clinicians to boost their skills and knowledge and get a qualification in this important area.
Course participants will get an in-depth understanding of how to apply the NSQHS Standards and National Model Clinical Governance Framework to improve the safety and quality of care in their health service.
If you are interested in this course and have any queries, please contact the course coordinator, Professor Melanie Lauva at [email protected].
