Congratulations on securing a place to study at Swansea University
A welcome message from Programme Director Judy Jenkins
Hello and welcome to the MSc/ PGDip/PGCert in Health Informatics at Swansea University Medical School.
I am delighted that you have chosen to study with us at one of the UK’s leading medical schools both in terms of teaching and research. My name is Judy Jenkins and I am the Programme Director for the course. Over the next year or so, we will work together to help you realise your aim of achieving a post graduate qualification in a discipline which is fast moving, contemporary and increasingly recognised as key to success in terms of delivering efficient and effective healthcare. Health Informatics is the science of getting the right information to the right people, at the right time.
Our curriculum has been designed to look at the main issues and challenges facing healthcare, especially when trying to incorporate the intelligent use of information technology (and the data it can produce) into mainstream clinical care. A degree from Swansea University may help increase your employability, especially in such an up and coming environment, such as informatics. It will require hard work, dedication, and application to your studies, but the end result will be worth it!
If you have any questions relating to the delivery of the programme, then please feel free to email me at j.jenkins@swansea.ac.uk
I look forward to meeting you in January 2024
Judy
