As a Diabetes Nurse I had reached the top of the nursing pay scale. It was during my next role as South West Regional Programme Manager for the National Diabetes Support Team that I commenced an MBA at the University of Exeter, as I felt I lacked a recognisable qualification in management. After doing a great deal of research, I felt that the MBA was the best and most appropriate management programme available to me.
I was fortunate to win a Golden Jubilee Scholarship towards my course fees.
The part time course at that time was a three year programme, but I completed it in two by undertaking an additional module during my second year. Plus, I had the opportunity to undertake a new week long module - the e-roundtables. This brought together fellow MBA students from around the world and was a fantastic opportunity to learn about different cultures and consolidate some of my previous learning from the MBA. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and there were two particular modules which stood out for me - Strategic and Operations Management and Innovation Management. These provided the foundation for my dissertation which looked at the increasing demand for healthcare services in the States of Jersey. It proposed a redesign for healthcare delivery, with particular reference to diabetes, which could then be applied to other chronic diseases.
The fact that I could do the course at Exeter, which was only a 45 minute drive from home, was fantastic and by taking the part time route meant I could undertake the course whilst continuing to work. The Exeter MBA has opened a huge number of doors for me - I even met my husband on the course!!
It was during my second year that I was offered an excellent position with the States of Jersey as Head of Healthcare Strategy which meant a move to the Channel Islands, but a great opportunity to shape healthcare for a small island population. I believe one of the main success factors to attaining this role was the MBA.
