In 2020 healthcare technology has been stressed, as never before. Yet the challenges go much wider than the pandemic: rising expectations of service and efficacy, combined with the pressures of an aging population demand for new business models and leadership.
Technology will be key to achieving the productivity improvements required; advances in connectivity, big data and visualisation create new opportunities to transform patient care and achieve real impact in people’s lives. Emerging leaders in healthcare need to be able to navigate complex organisations' structures, draw on entrepreneurial skills to identify commercial opportunities and upscale successes.
Overview
The Summer School in Data, Visualisation, and Connectivity for Healthcare, organised by Coventry University and the National Institute of Coding, immerses participants in a live project environment, where they will work in dynamic teams to address real opportunities for change. The focus of the programme will be to identify and scale up new innovations. Learners will pitch business plan concepts to a panel of experts in the industry, aiming to build a portfolio of skills and contacts, as well as to develop viable intellectual property with the potential for exploitation.
Course participants will gain critical insight into healthcare structures and dynamics, entrepreneurial training on business propositions and flexible learning on emerging tech opportunities. Holistic packages made of training and mentoring talks from industry experts, visits to leading-edge health innovation sites are key components of the course. In addition, participants will get invitation-only access to high-quality online learning material they can keep for future learning.
As the programme has a focus on business innovation and entrepreneurship, there is no need to have a specific technical background or any coding knowledge to join our Summer School.
