The British Academy for Training and Development offers a training course on Professional Use of Information Technology in Health Care. Modern, high-performing hospitals are increasingly seeking qualified healthcare professionals who can leverage clinical and public health data—analyzing, interpreting, and transforming this data into added value. These professionals play a vital role in developing integrated health systems and enhancing the use of computer technologies, smart devices, and communication tools to support healthcare workers and patients in managing diseases and health risks, while also promoting overall health and well-being.

Throughout this course, participants will explore key concepts related to healthcare technology, including the design, integration, implementation, and evaluation of clinical information systems. By the end of the program, trainees will understand the essential role of technology in healthcare and how to effectively utilize digital health infrastructure within healthcare facilities.
