Taught Modules

PM-344 Capstone Project

The aim of this module is to provide a capstone experience to students¿ learning, through participating in their own enquiry-based research project, with guidance from an academic supervisor. The project may be laboratory or non-laboratory based, but it will always involve a research question that is drawn from the literature, and focused on a topic relevant to the life sciences. It will ask a research question and involve the critical analysis of research findings. Students will refine their oral and written communication skills to a graduate level through an oral presentation and dissertation on their research findings and conclusions.
PMI100 Introduction to Health Informatics in Context

This level one module introduces the key concepts and theories of health informatics. A broad approach to the basic elements of health informatics will be explored in the form of the patient journey through healthcare.
PMIM101 Health Informatics in Context

In this module, students will study the skills required by the professional health informatician with an introduction to information governance, including privacy and the maintenance of confidentiality, data security, legislation, ethical considerations, and current UK and global eHealth strategies. Students will also begin to develop their academic skills in literature searching, the critical evaluation of research literature.
PMIM101J Health Informatics in Context

In this module, students will study the skills required by the professional health informatician with an introduction to information governance, including privacy and the maintenance of confidentiality, data security, legislation, ethical considerations, and current UK and global eHealth strategies. Students will also begin to develop their academic skills in literature searching, the critical evaluation of research literature.
PMIM201 Communications and Coding

In this module, students will learn about communication and communication systems. This will include a study of electronic health records and clinical coding systems. Academic skills are developed and enhanced by an introduction to qualitative research methods.
PMIM301 Using Secondary Health Data

PMIM401 Digital Health and Care Systems

In this module, students will study the information systems & technologies used in health informatics projects and their implementation. These include: networks; the Internet; integrated communications; mobile communications; health information systems. Academic skills are further developed by studying how systematic reviews of literature are undertaken. Reflective practice is also addressed.
PMIM501 Knowledge Management

In this module, students will study knowledge management in health care environments. The themes covered will include: clinical decision-making; decision support systems; workflow management; data visualization techniques. Students will study experimental research designs.
PMIM601 Undertaking Health Informatics Research

In this module, students will develop their research skills by learning how to write a research proposal and prepare for the research dissertation.
PMIM701 Health Informatics Research Dissertation

This module builds on the knowledge and skills developed in part one of the course. Students will work independently in order to critically explore and add to the evidence base for a topic of relevance to health informatics.
PMIM703 Project Management Dissertation

In this module students use work based learning and experience in the construction of a work based portfolio, which will reflect on the leadership of a health informatics project.
