Healthcare Project Management
Healthcare and NHS Project Management
Within recent years - and within the NHS alone - healthcare programme and healthcare project management has been prominent - National Programme for IT (NPfIT), major capital investments and PFI/PPP programmes, performance ratings, clinical guidelines and audit, Foundation Trust status', change programmes, research and patient/carer. The private healthcare sector has seen an increase in capital investment in new hospitals, treatment centres, mobile units and new departments.
Programme and healthcare project management roles have ranged from needing specific specialist healthcare project manager knowledge through to strong best practice programme and project management professionals - such as experience implementing Centres of Excellence Programme Management Offices providing procedures such as the Gateway Review Process to enable higher visibility, tighter control and better planning.
