Health informatics is about using information technologies to improve health, from big data to designing software used by clinicians, or apps used by patients. The vision of the UCL Institute of Health Informatics is to conduct high quality research that leverages health informatics approaches at local, national and international levels. Students are supported to learn new skills and broaden their professional networks. We offer a range of research areas related to health data, information and technology. Research activities are diverse and reflect the challenges within heath informatics. Our programmes of research are underpinned by excellent secure data infrastructure; adding value to key linked data resources to make data research-ready; development of multidisciplinary methodological expertise; engagement with patients, the public and health services; strong local, national and international academic partnerships and excellent multidisciplinary training programmes. Students graduating in the last three years have secured employment in local and central government, NHS Trusts and hospitals, clinical trial units and Public Health England, as well as research posts at UCL and other Higher Education Institutes.
