Health Service Modelling Associates 5

Through the Health Service Modelling Associates (HSMA) Programme we aim to build a culture and skills base through which simulation modelling and Data Science techniques are routinely used to support decisions within health, social care, and policing organisations. This course supports participants to use Operational Research (OR) and Data Science techniques to support operational service development and decision making. The course also provides access to a community of experts to support real world applications of these new skills, and offers advice and guidance on real world challenges, such as working with stakeholders, patient and public engagement, and data issues. The course is centred around open science, and teaches exclusively Free and Open Source (FOSS) approaches and software. This course is accredited by the Association of Professional Healthcare Analysts.
