The goal of this roundtable application is to introduce the MSc in Digital Health Leadership, a part of the new NHS Digital Academy. Commissioned by the British Government, the Digital Academy is delivered by a partnership of Imperial College London, the University of Edinburgh and Harvard Medical School. The NHS Digital Academy is a key element of the British Health Services’ Five Year Forward Plan and was set up to develop a new generation of digital leaders who will drive the information and technology transformation of the British National Health System. In just two years, the MSc in Digital Health Leadership has become the largest Master’s Program within the Institute for Global Health Innovation (IGHI) at Imperial College London. The MSc in Digital Health Leadership uses a project based dissertation to support deep competency development in leading a range of innovation and transformation projects in NHS clinical environments. The goal of each project is to lead a key component of the organisation toward digital maturity or digital readiness. The organisation based dissertation projects are designed and developed for maximum local impact and are intended to be national exemplars and road maps for success in fast follower and other regional and national health care settings. All MSc students are senior consultant clinicians or IT leaders within regional or national NHS healthcare organisations. In the process of sharing information about this new nationally funded programme, Imperial College London hopes to learn about similar PBL programmes focused on high impact innovation and transformation.
