HEALTH INFORMATICS PGCert/ PGDip/MSc FT PT Government policies, professional bodies and European strategies have all made explicit reference to the need for healthcare staff with health informatics education and training to keep in line with new developments and the changing nature of new technology. This programme is designed for healthcare professionals and those who want to increase their knowledge and skills in health informatics, and is accredited by the UK Council for Health Informatics Professions (UKCHIP). Modules typically include: • Communications and Coding • Health Informatics in Context • Health Informatics Research • Knowledge Management • Systems and Technologies • Using Secondary Health Data Entry requirements Candidates with two years of relevant employment are welcomed, as well as graduates of a relevant discipline with a 2:2 honours, or an equivalent recognised qualification. MEDICAL RADIATION PHYSICS MSc FT PT The MSc in Medical Radiation Physics is designed to give engineering and physical sciences graduates the necessary theoretical
considered on a case-by-case basis. Applicants will be expected to outline their prior experiential learning over a minimum of 3 years. CLINICAL SCIENCE (MEDICAL PHYSICS) MSc PT MSc Clinical Science builds on an existing collaboration with the NHS in providing the primary route for attaining the professional title of Clinical Scientist in the field of Medical Physics. The programme is accredited by the NHS and provides the academic component of the Scientist Training Programme for medical physics trainees, within the Modernising Scientific Careers framework defined by the UK Department of Health. It offers students the chance to specialise in either radiotherapy physics or radiation safety. This master's degree is only suitable for trainees sponsored by an NHS or an equivalent health care provider. Modules typically include: • Advanced Radiation Safety • Advanced Radiotherapy • Introduction to the practice of Medical Physicists and Clinical Engineers in Health Care • Medical Imaging • Nuclear Medicine and Diagnostic Radiology • Radiation Protection • Radiotherapy Physics • Research Methods • Specialist Radiation Safety • Specialist Radiotherapy Entry requirements Typically a 2:2 honours degree or equivalent in engineering or physical sciences. GENOMIC MEDICINE PGCert/PGDip/MSc FT PT MSc Genomic Medicine has been commissioned by the Welsh Government as part of the all-Wales strategy to provide training in Genomics.
Informed by Health Education England, NHS England and Genomics England Ltd, the course equips graduates, scientists and Health Care Professionals to understand and interpret genomic data to inform scientific research and clinical practice to ultimately improve patient care. Modules typically include: • Bioinformatics for Genome Analysis • Cancer Genomics • Ethical, Legal and Societal Issues (ELSI) in Applied Genomics • Introduction to Human Genetics and Genomics • Genomics of Common and Rare Inherited Disease • Dissertation Project • Application of Genomics in Infectious Disease • Omics Techniques and their Application to Genomic Medicine • Pharmacogenomics and Stratified Healthcare Entry requirements Typically a 2:1 honours in a relevant subject such as biochemistry, genetics, pharmacology, pharmacy, medical biosciences or nursing. HEALTH DATA SCIENCE PGCert/PGDip/MSc FT PT If you are working in a healthcare role that involves analysing health data, this programme could accelerate you into one of the fastest growing areas in the UK. This course is designed to develop the essential skills and knowledge you’ll need as a Health Data Scientist. You’ll learn how processing health data to extract valuable information about
a population (epidemiological applications) has the potential to improve quality of life on a large scale. Modules typically include: • Scientific Computing and Health Care
