UCL Global Business School for Health (GBSH) has announced the launch of the new Modality Scholarship, a groundbreaking initiative to develop leaders equipped to drive innovation across primary care, integrated care, and broader healthcare systems.
Modality Partnership, one of the leading primary and integrated care providers in the UK reaching over 11 million citizens, is partnering with UCL GBSH to award a £30,000 scholarship for a GMC (General Medical Council) registered GP, or GP in training, to study for the MBA Health or Executive MBA Health. The Scholarship will provide one award to support a UK or international student to take up their place on the MBA Health or Executive MBA Health programme for the 2025/26 academic year.
The MBA Health is a one-year programme, focused on applying business skills to healthcare management and training future senior leaders. The Executive MBA Health programme is a part-time, two-year programme designed for busy professionals who are seeking to gain a world-class specialist business education alongside their careers.
The scholarship is designed to build leadership capabilities that prepare recipients to influence primary care health systems at scale, and expose NHS clinical leaders to essential business management concepts such as workforce planning, digital transformation, and system optimisation.
In addition to the scholarship, Modality and UCL GBSH will partner together on learning and development, with Vincent Sai, Modality’s Group CEO and Partner, continuing his role as an Executive in Residence and teaching students as part of the Business Projects module.
UCL GBSH students will also work alongside Modality on industry projects, focused on digital transformation and workforce development.
Vincent Sai, Group CEO and Partner, of Modality Partnership, said: “The Modality Scholarship exemplifies our commitment to transforming healthcare leadership by equipping clinical leaders with the business acumen and system-level thinking required to deliver better outcomes for patients and communities.”
Professor Nora Colton, Director of the UCL Global Business School for Health, said: “It’s been a pleasure to watch our working relationship with Modality Partnership go from strength to strength, and I am thrilled that they have entrusted us with a truly groundbreaking scholarship programme. The generous award widens access for NHS GPs or GPs in training to learn essential business management skills that will ultimately drive better outcomes for NHS patients across the UK.”
