Play your part in shaping the informatics profession and transforming modern healthcare

We want to hear from you and work together to shape the future of the informatics profession.

 

The recent COVID crisis has attracted a lot of interest in how health care and technology can work together to create better systems, support people and save lives. You are a big part of that discussion on how we can shape the profession in the future to meet these challenges. 

Help to develop professional standards and ensure the best use of data technology in health and care

The standard was written in consultation with the awarding professional bodies, UKCHIP and leading informaticians across the UK.

 

We hope this standard will help informaticians develop practices which will shape the future of healthcare. We are excited to invite you to be involved in the development of the profession.
