Singapore’s healthcare landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by an ageing population, rising chronic disease rates, and rapid technological advancements. Major projects like HealthCity Novena and the redevelopment of Alexandra Hospital reflect a national commitment to delivering more integrated and innovative healthcare services.
As the sector grows more complex, there is a rising need for healthcare professionals who can bridge clinical care, operational excellence, and strategic leadership. In particular, registered nurses and healthcare administrators are in a strong position to step into transformational roles that influence patient outcomes and organisational performance.
According to Singapore’s Ministry of Health, there is an ongoing surge in demand for qualified healthcare management professionals. The future of healthcare leadership requires individuals who are both clinically experienced and strategically capable—a rare and valuable combination.
Registered nurses can move beyond bedside care into leadership positions such as nurse managers, clinical operations heads, and healthcare executives.
Healthcare administrators with business and strategic expertise can take on broader institutional roles, including department leads, hospital directors, or policy planners.
To meet this demand, many are turning to specialised programmes like the MBA in Healthcare Management.
The MBA in Healthcare Management, offered by the University of Roehampton in partnership with Aventis Graduate School, is designed to prepare working healthcare professionals for senior leadership roles in hospitals, clinics, and healthcare organisations.
This flexible, career-focused programme empowers learners to:
✅ Gain cross-disciplinary skills in healthcare finance, strategy, and innovation ✅ Master evidence-based decision-making and performance management ✅ Lead change with confidence through modules in organisational behaviour and digital health
“In today’s healthcare landscape, we need to apply different leadership approaches to support and retain our staff — one style is no longer enough. Innovation and service redesign are equally important. That’s where strategic training, like an MBA in Healthcare Management, becomes essential — it helps healthcare professionals develop the leadership and business skills needed to redesign services for real-world impact.”
— Kelly Shan, Lecturer in Health and Gerontology, Aventis Graduate School

“Every MNC has a CSR agenda — and who better to articulate healthcare needs than former clinicians? Our work is built on narrative. We understand patients, families, and carers deeply. When a company wants to give back meaningfully, it’s clinicians who carry that voice forward. Nurses, especially, are the heart of our healthcare system. They build trust, and they build it fast.”
— Dr. Iain Kaan, Healthcare Leadership Expert
This underscores why nurses and clinicians are uniquely positioned to lead across sectors, from corporate wellness and hospital operations to community health outreach and policy.
The Aventis–Roehampton MBA gives you the tools to lead with confidence, and make a lasting impact on both patient outcomes and organisational effectiveness.
In a time of rapid transformation, healthcare needs leaders who can navigate complexity and drive meaningful change. The MBA in Healthcare Management is more than a degree, it’s a career accelerator for professionals who want to lead the future of healthcare.
“In the past, we focused on tasks, drawing blood, managing procedures. But today, we need to think bigger. How can we be more efficient? More cost-effective? With an MBA, we begin to see healthcare as a system, we identify inefficiencies, explore models of care, gather data, and use that to influence policy. As clinicians, we’re not just executing care, we can conduct research, speak with ministries, and push for change at a national level. With this broader perspective, we’re also able to mentor junior staff and pass down not just clinical skills, but strategic thinking, that’s how we make a bigger, lasting impact.”
— Dr. Jonathan Ee, Experienced Psychology Faculty and Educator
This mindset shift is what the Aventis–Roehampton MBA in Healthcare Management is built to support.
