Educate

We believe that fostering innovation in health is not just about solving the healthcare challenges of today.

We’re dedicated to training and developing future leaders in healthcare who can bring new thinking to our systems and approaches. We take pride in lending our expertise to support the next generation of healthcare professionals and build capacity so that more people have access to safe, quality care.

At the Institute of Global Health Innovation, we run several educational programmes that feature teaching from experts in the field. Many of our courses are suitable for professionals working in healthcare or allied with healthcare systems. Due to this, we offer the flexibility to study part-time.

Our courses are run by Imperial College London together with our partners for some specific programmes.

Postgraduate Diploma in Digital Health Leadership

The Postgraduate Diploma in Digital Health Leadership is the flagship programme of the NHS Digital Academy. Through this programme, we empower digital changemakers to drive technology transformation in their organisations and the health and care system.

Commissioned by Health Education England in partnership with NHS England, the programme is delivered by a partnership of Imperial College London’s Institute of Global Health Innovation, HDR UK and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.
