Healthcare Innovation: Engineering, Systems and Improvement

 

Student feedback:

The Programme launched in September 2024 with our first face-to-face teaching week in Cambridge, for students in 'Cohort 1'. Here are a few quotes from the students:

Nadeem Gulzar, Partner, Deloitte

“I just wanted to say thank you for creating such an amazing event… What a wonderful kind, thoughtful and committed faculty you make! I have not been so energized and excited for a very long while. Your enthusiasm and energy is inspiring and infectious… The group of students you brought together is a wonderful mix of curious, super bright and supportive folks. I have loved and am honored to be part of such a cohort.”

Alex McVicker-Wilson, Superintendent Radiographer, NHS “I could find business courses, healthcare courses, leadership courses, software related courses, engineering courses, modality based courses and so on. However, out of all the courses that I reviewed, this was the only course that seemed to really grasp the fact that to truly successfully innovate and improve things, we need to look at all these different factors jointly… [It] was interesting and varied… [and] has been great at introducing people from different professions who don't normally get to liaise with each other, and this has already made a direct difference even though it's only Week 1... and that is because unlike others, you have realised that you really do need a mixture of people to innovate successfully. This really is a course like no other - so thank you all for a great week.”
Sara Bhandari, Executive Director,  Aamevol Care “[The] speakers were all very interesting and their various backgrounds really pushed the interdisciplinary focus of this course.”
CEO, Prism "Last week was really fantastic. Thank you on behalf of us all for putting together such an inspiring catalogue of lectures. I am looking forward to going through them again online.”
Ambika Chadha, Academic & Clinical Specialist, Surgery, NHS "This week was an incredible generator of energy on all fronts, culminating in a mix of inspiring lecturers and enigmatic course attendees. The opportunity to expand mindset and discuss ideas was a resounding success on all fronts. Without doubt this is a course for future innovators and leaders in Healthcare."
David Sunkersing, Research Fellow “The teaching week has been exceptional, with engaging and relevant content that is both informative and transferable. I have learned a lot of new material that feels practical and logical. The speakers have been outstanding, demonstrating deep expertise in their respective fields.”
 

 

Industry testimonials:

“With innovation in healthcare becoming a key driver to improving patient care and wellbeing, it is important that innovators arm themselves with the key skills required to be successful when they launch their ventures. The University of Cambridge Master of Studies in Healthcare Innovation is a great initiative to better prepare innovators to navigate their HealthTech innovation journey”.

“For successful MedTech development, it is essential that engineers and scientists work in partnership with clinical experts to develop new technology which solves real-world challenges. Building this collaboration into the Healthcare Innovation Programme is a fantastic way to build these relationships early on and ensure that future medical devices are both clinically and technically feasible.”

Oliver Sowerby | Head of Surgical Technologies | Team Consulting, Cambridge

 

 

"The Cambridge Health Innovation MSt course would potentially be a powerful addition to our broader professional curriculum and the development of our senior talent. The emphasis on systems thinking and innovation within the health care ecosystem is very relevant to the GCC region and to the Deloitte Technology and Transformation Consulting business. I would be keen to... assess how we could integrate this into our professional development pathway."
