On this programme, students will gain the confidence to innovate and apply their learnings, as individuals and as team members, adopting a patient-centric approach to their decision-making and actions, to solve problems and overcome challenges within their healthcare system. This will be achieved via: engagement with on-line content; participation in activities; the utilisation of web-based resources; assessment of the latest techniques, tools and technologies; examination and critical review of recent case studies and research findings; articulating proposals; and engaging in feedback sessions prior to the realisation of a solution or capability. Through the medium of undertaking a substantial project (group or individual), participants will integrate and apply their learnings to develop and deploy a digital transformation solution or capability that will have a significant positive impact on their health service/industry/sector.
