By taking this course you will:
Learn
Starting with an in person four-day Boot Camp, CHIME will take you through its Success Factors for digital health leaders – these are the attitudes, approach and tools you can deploy every day to be an effective and transformative leader.
The Boot Camp is taught through interactive presentations, case study exercises and application exercises by an international faculty of experienced digital health leaders, policy experts and thought leaders. The Boot Camp agenda also focuses on you: how you run your life, make decisions on priorities and manage your workload and personal commitments.
The Boot Camp learning is then consolidated by online education, delivered through CHIME virtual learning platform Ignite. Here you will continue your education with a carefully planned syllabus of resources to read and watch, tasks to complete and live online seminars with CHIME faculty. This element of the course is self-paced to allow you to combine your education with your work and home life commitments.
After completing the online modules, you will meet with your tutor to discuss your digital health project. This is a personal exploration based on your work objectives which you will develop during the course. Not only will this allow you to dive deep into an improvement project with immediate results; your final report will join the Boots Digital Champions online library – a growing canon of use case examples that will be accessed by colleagues working in digital health transformation.
Grow your network
The power of the network has never been stronger than now, and from the 1 September you will be a member of CHIME UK - joining more than a thousand digital health leaders in CHIME’s UK network. This is a subscription only site and you will receive free 12-month access as a Boots Digital Champion.
Here you will access CHIME content including: a monthly webinar, access to on-demand recordings of CHIME education and resources from world-leading journals bought on licence by CHIME.
Use this space to meet digital health leaders across the UK and beyond, ask questions, and share your dilemmas and success stories.
Receive accreditation
CHIME wants to recognise your professional experience and knowledge and on the conclusion of this course you will study for and challenge the Certified Digital Health examination at either professional or leader level: giving you the recognition of digital health leadership and starting you on your journey to further digital health qualifications such as a Master’s degree.
The exam will be taken in person in January at Boots Campus, when we invite you to meet the second cohort of Boots Digital Champions, share your project’s results and, after the exam, celebrate your progress at the Gala Dinner.
You are part of the first cohort and as well as developing your own learning, you will play an ambassadorial role to explain the benefits of this course to colleagues and stakeholders.
