Health & Care Intelligence Specialist Level 7
Duration: 22 months
The masters degree level HCIS apprenticeship is for junior professionals who study the health of populations, plan, commission, manage, deliver, monitor and evaluate health and social care policies and services.
It is important to gain the technical, often statistical knowledge but just as key is a the ability to influence internal and external stakeholders and the capability to utilise systems thinking techniques to understand complex situations and apply ethical standards. Thereby ensuring initiatives are effective and right.
The course is purpose designed. As the first provider in the country we have built on the feedback from our systems thinking apprenticeship and focused ruthlessly on making the course absolutely vocational, taught by practitioners and applying learned techniques directly in the workplace. There are no dusty academics here!
“Starting the apprenticeship has been one of the most fulfilling personal development decisions I have ever made. The support that I have received from across my organisation has been brilliant and I always look forward to sharing things that I have learned with my team. It has opened doors that previously, I would not have had the confidence to knock on, let alone open. It has been a game-changer for me, and I cannot recommend apprenticeships highly enough.”
