The postgraduate in Health centre planning aims to provide healthcare planning professionals, health centre managers and architecture or engineering technicians with the necessary tools for planning new health centres, and, more importantly, for carrying out actions in existing centres with a view to keeping them fully competitive from a functional point of view and with the required level of acceptance. The aim of this postgraduate course is to complete the basic training of its students, giving them sufficient knowledge to carry out the necessary teamwork for the planning and functional design of health centres.
The postgraduate consists of two complementary specialist courses: Health centre planning and Hospital planning.
This training in planning will give students a knowledge of healthcare systems and the interrelation between their different components, subsequently providing these professionals with the elements of the healthcare planning in centres and execution of their functional design. Hence, the postgraduate 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 health centres.
- 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 health centre 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.
