This module aims to equip students with a comprehensive, practice-oriented understanding of elderly care management, spanning micro-level service delivery, institutional operations, stakeholder collaboration, technological innovation, and AI application. It is structured to reflect the multifaceted and multi-actor nature of elderly care, with a strong focus on organisational and service-level decision-making. This module enables students to critically analyse and address the operational, technological, and relational challenges inherent in delivering high-quality elderly care, while cultivating practical managerial and reflective problem-solving skills.

Guided by the philosophy of Syntegrative Education, this module adopts an intensive block-teaching format that enables deeper engagement with industry partners and allows students to focus on completing problem-based and project-oriented assessments. This module will be delivered through a series of key lectures/seminars. In addition, students will be required to analyse a number of cases, determining what worked and why.
