Five scholarships created as new Masters programme is launched

There are five £2,000 scholarships for people who work or live in south London who want to study on a new Master’s programme, starting this September.

The new MSc in Implementation and Improvement Science, believed to be the first Master’s focusing on implementation science in the country, is an exciting field of study and can offer real solutions to improving quality, safety, outcomes and population health.

The programme has been created jointly by researchers at King's College London and St George's, University of London, who are working together under the auspices of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care South London (CLAHRC South London). The MSc in Implementation and Improvement Science is hosted at, and awarded by, King’s College London.

Stephen Tee, Professor of Nurse Education and Dean for Education at King’s said: ‘We are really excited that the CLAHRC South London is offering scholarships for this new Master’s programme. The MSc is a practical course aimed at those from health, policy, NGO and government sector, including health and social science researchers both in the UK and in an international context. If you are at start of their career or have been working in, or using, health services for a longer period of time and want to learn research and project management skills, this course is for you.”

King’s is hosting a launch event on Tuesday 30 June at its Guy’s campus (New Hunt’s House) in London Bridge. This is an opportunity to hear from the leading academics who will be teaching the course and to find out how to apply for a scholarship.
