Hospitals and Healthcare

Learn how the General Data Protection Regulation helps to protect health data, with this online course from the University of Groningen.

Hans Rosling's famous lectures combine enormous quantities of public data with a sport's commentator's style to reveal the story of the world's past, present and future development. Now he explores stats in a way he has never done before - using augmented reality animation. In this spectacular section of 'The Joy of Stats' he tells the story of the world in 200 countries over 200 years using 120,000 numbers - in just four minutes. Plotting life expectancy against income for every country since 1810, Hans shows how the world we live in is radically different from the world most of us imagine.

Data can be powerful in health and social care. It can be used to develop new services, influence strategies, inform budget decisions and optimise processes and policy.

On this course you’ll learn how to make the most of data. Find out what data should be gathered, best practices around data governance, what tools and techniques will help you manage and analyse data, and how to work collaboratively with data scientists and digital teams.

Using real world case studies you’ll gain practical experience of that you can use in your own work to create sustainable health and social care services.
