The specialist university course in Hospital planning has been designed as an integral training programme that gives students a comprehensive grounding on which to base the development of their careers in this field. The programme has also been structured as an academic itinerary, which means that participants have access to a type of training that suits their needs by enrolling on subjects that match their specific interests and the time they have available to study.
The programme itinerary consists of a set of subjects totalling 10 credits.
This training in hospital planning will give students a good knowledge of healthcare systems and the interrelation between their different components, which will subsequently provide professionals with the elements of the healthcare planning of hospitals and execution of their functional design. Hence, the programme begins by offering students a solid grounding in the organisation of health systems.
Professionals taking part in the programme will learn the skills to:
- Form part of the multidisciplinary teams that carry out the planning and design of hospitals.
- Bring solutions to the health organisations where they work in order to deal with problems in development, adapting to new needs or the obsolescence of care units.
- Incorporate hospital planning as a key element of decision-making.
- Direct processes of change in healthcare organisations.
- Equip technical design and engineering teams with the necessary knowledge to successfully introduce functional solutions in order to meet healthcare demands.
