Information and information systems are complex multi-disciplinary activities that are increasingly in demand for the support and development of clinical and health services management. The quality of information profoundly influences the quality of health care itself. The format of the courses is based on four and a half or three day residential modules held at the University combined with projects which are completed back at the students workplace. The courses are designed for Health Service and other health care staff who are concerned with the analysis and provision of health information, and for the technical management of health information units and health information systems at all levels. The courses provide post-experience tuition and support in the specialised health informatics skills.
Students begin with an introductory module at each of the three stages.
The first module at the MSc level is designed for those students who will be undertaking research programmes. Each module draws on a mixture of learning methods, including the traditional lecturing techniques, small group and class exercises. All rights reserved.
