The LSBI Health and Social Care Management Qualifications were designed for managers in various types of organisations including hospitals and care homes in both the public and private sector. Whilst the core competencies were drawn from the British healthcare system it has also been carefully considered that many managers may wish to use these qualifications abroad and so international aspects of healthcare policy and practice have also been included. LSBI encourages centres to combine the study of LSBI qualifications with a work placement relevant to the unit the learners are studying. All assignments must still be assessed in accordance with the guidelines set out in the Delivering LSBI Qualifications Handbook.

Progression Routes

These qualifications can be topped up to an honour’s degree or an MSc. Topping up to a degree will typically take between six and twelve months of further study depending on what degree you want to do. Part-time/distance courses are also available.
