The Professional Diploma in Leading Digital Health Transformation is a nine-month online programme which aims to provide all healthcare professionals with the ultimate toolkit to explore digital solutions to our everyday healthcare challenges and to influence, lead and enable digital health transformation in any healthcare setting in support of improved and empowered patient care.

Delivering healthcare to a high standard is more challenging than ever, as the system struggles to tackle ever increasing rates of chronic disease, a global ageing population, and unprecedented demands on health services. More of the same will not deliver for patients, health systems and services, and it will not deliver for the health professionals within them, now stretched more than ever. Digital health adoption is the key enabler to elevating health services, reducing hospital admissions and length of stay, supporting primary and preventative care and improving patient outcomes.
