Synopsis This subject develops an overview of the practice and theory of hospital management by reviewing major contemporary issues in hospital management; describing the role and practice of management in hospitals; exploring the sources of information relevant to hospital management, and developing links between generic theory in management to the practice of hospital management. In doing so, it draws on economics, political science, sociology of medicine, organisational theory, change theory, business ethics and descriptive work on the function of the hospital. The subject aims to provide those interested in a career in hospital management with a taste of the practical issues involved and a starting point for exploring this theory.
