  9. Reflections Pros: We ‘sort of’ control teaching GMC objectives met Efficient use of our time • Is it a good idea to have a dedicated Health Informatics module? Cons: Not connected with students’ focus Hard to achieve practical outcomes Risk of being undermined

  10. Other UK initiatives • UG level: • elements of HI in Medical, Nursing, Physiotherapy & Radiography training • failed attempts to establish standalone BSc • M level: • some successful programmes • Health Informatics specialism in the Graduate Management Training Programme • proposal to include Health Informatics in the Clinical Scientist Training Programme
