TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
John Bennett, teaching and learning manager at the University of Sheffield’s Information School, argues that health informatics represents the future of healthcare.
T
he NHS needs information professionals more than
ever. As the debate surrounding IT systems for the NHS contin- ues, health services are becoming more and more reliant on employ- ees with knowledge of both health and information communication technologies to keep pace with the changing landscape.
A course in Health Informatics will propel you right to the heart of the fastest-growing area of the health sector.
Health informatics is the cutting-edge fusion of health service delivery and information communications technologies (ICTs). From the first suspicion of a health problem, through confirmation, to cure, information
plays a fundamental role in helping to diagnose, treat, manage and prevent recurrence or transmission of disease.
Whether you are a current health professional looking to move into a growth area, or an information professional who wants to get in- volved in health, health informat- ics needs you.
New systems are emerging con- stantly, to analyse health data, manage information and develop web interfaces. As a Health Infor- matics graduate, you will be shap- ing the very future of healthcare.
