This CPD course introduces social marketing as a framework for developing behaviour and social change programmes applied to public health issues. It is aligned with UoB’s “Education for sustainable futures” strategic pillar, as social marketing is deeply rooted in equity, social justice, ethics, and sustainability principles.

On this course you will learn how to appraise existing evidence about AI health technologies and how to generate local evidence to support decision-making in a specific setting. You will also gain an understanding of the different forms of risk that AI health technologies pose for healthcare providers and the principles and practicalities that influence how those risks are managed.

Best practices in these key areas are emerging, with limited capabilities across many UK and global healthcare providers. Because of the interdisciplinarity and novelty of the challenges posed by AI governance and evaluation in healthcare, this course is accessible for a wide range of applicants. This practice-oriented module is grounded in the faculty’s recent or active research in the UK, US and elsewhere. You will develop competencies that enable you to bring organisations up to date to efficiently deliver safe, effective and fair AI-enabled healthcare.

Provisional Dates - 25th January 2027 - 29th January 2027

Please note these dates may be subject to change. 

This introductory course aims to orientate you to the regulatory landscape in which healthcare technologies sit. This will include an introduction to relevant regulatory bodies and their scope, the classification systems applied to healthcare technologies and the standards and processes which are used to evaluate these technologies across their lifecycle. These insights will enable you to understand the demands of regulations upon manufacturers and adopters as they plan their innovation activities. Students will also develop the foundation for further training in standards auditing and other professional roles in healthcare quality.

The Evaluating Medical Tests is a 4-day online course designed for researchers seeking to apply robust methods in diagnostic test evaluation. Learn how to evaluate test variability, test accuracy and clinical impact. Explore the role of tests in screening, monitoring and diagnosis and gain insights into study designs and patient pathways.

The course is designed for researchers seeking to apply rigorous  methods  to systematic reviews and meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies.

Course delivery will include sessions where key content, theory and examples will be presented and self-directed or small group activities where you will have the opportunity to apply this knowledge and ask questions.
