This programme is jointly offered by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and the University of Edinburgh and is primarily designed for working healthcare professionals who wish to use informatics effectively in their usual role. It will also be of interest to those with backgrounds in applied healthcare technology, health information management/policy and health services research.
Health informatics is an emerging discipline covering the knowledge, skills and tools that enable information to be collected, managed, used and shared to support the delivery of healthcare and to promote health. In the era of information-rich healthcare this increasingly involves the application of electronic information and communicatons technologies. This programme draws heavily on international perspectives of health informatics to inform participants in global health issues and best practice from around the world.
Students taking this programme will expect to acquire a depth and breadth of knowledge of the principles of health informatics. They will develop skills in the critical appraisal, assessment and use of information to support information needs and will be able to apply those skills in strategic planning for the design, delivery and evaluation of information technology initiatives.
