Course Description
The general aim of this PDA is to provide candidates with the competencies required to carry out administrative roles, at intermediate/senior level, within a medical environment. The competencies will meet the needs of both private and public sector organisations.
Through Blackboard (our virtual learning environment), you will be able to access your learning materials and communicate with other students. Students will also be given tutor support via email and phone when needed. Start dates are flexible and students will work at a pace which suits them. Running the course via open learning allows us to keep the costs down for employers, which we feel is important with current economic difficulties.
