The Better Care module is a series of bite-sized videos that help viewers better understand the Better Care theme of HDR UK. The videos contained in the curriculum provide details on how the Better Care theme itself works, it’s intended impact, how Better Care fits within different areas of the health system, and why it is important on an individual level. The general theme of this curriculum is core for researchers and practitioners in the health field. Please note that some resources are specific to those working in particular areas of practice, for example, ophthalmology.

In this learning pathway you can learn what medical devices are, how they are categorised and how they are regulated. We will cover the strategies you can adopt in selecting which markets to bring your device to the responsibilities and expectations on you to manage quality and how your device will be evaluated both from a clinical and a health economics point of view.

Bringing Software as a Medical Device to Market - Clinical evidence for software devices. Regulators, payers and end users demand clinical evidence that your product works and your claims are backed up by the science. This workshop will look at clinical evidence standards for a variety of digital products including diagnostic software, digital interventions and therapeutics. Standards covered include legislative ones such as ISO 14155, as well as academic best practice and reporting standards.

Bringing Software as a Medical Device to Market - Health economics for software devices. Reimbursement pathways can be confusing for new entrants to healthcare. This workshop will cover health economic evidence requirements including budget impact modelling and cost-effectiveness analysis for digital interventions as recommended by the NICE Evidence Standards framework for Digital Health Technologies.

The right approach to protecting innovation is to put in place an IP strategy at the earliest opportunity and to revisit it regularly as a business grows or pivots. This workshop will cover early stage patent and trademarking for healthtech, do's and don'ts to avoid infringing others' work and strategic thinking about IP.

Most software intended for a clinical benefit is a medical device, which comes with a regulatory burden. This workshop will explain the regulatory framework in the EU and UK, with a focus on software development lifecycles, quality management and risk management, as well as an overview of the applicable ISO and IEC standards.

This video will tell you how to code… with style! After watching this video, you will understand what is meant by code style and why you should care about it, know what linters and formatters are and what they can and CANNOT do. Finally, you will know how to choose a linter and formatter for your next project irrespective of the programming language that you are using.

Software is never finished and should be delivered incrementally. Sites like GitHub can let you automatically run tests before code is added to the main working version. This is pretty straightforward in practice, but maybe not something every researcher knows how to set up. After watching this video, you will understand what continuous integration/continuous delivery is, know of example how to use it in research, and know of example how to use it in software engineering.

This video lesson will introduce you to CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and provide a basic guide to adding rich styles and elements to existing web pages. You'll learn how to style individual and multiple elements simultaneously.

This video lesson will give you an understanding of how HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is used to render the appearance of web-based content in web browsers, how it can be utilised effectively, and learn how to create your own basic web page.

This video lesson will look at JavaScript, which is a fully featured programming language. We will explain and demonstrate the uses of Javascript on webpages and it's collaboration with HTML and CSS. We will also look at how we can use JavaScript to add interactivity to web pages, and explore a worked example.

This video lesson will give you an understanding of sources of data for MLTC research and different data coding methods.

Details, This pathway introduces the concepts and practices necessary to start using data standards in health research. This course explains why data standards are so essential in modern health research and the advantages of adopting them to produce high-quality, trusted data products. The course will teach you how to understand and apply different kinds of data standards during the phases of collection, processing, storage, and sharing your research data.

This video lesson will introduce data visualisation, to explore why visualising data is important and to highlight considerations for producing visualisations.

This video lesson will explore how we can consider digital inequalities when delivering digital solutions

This video lesson will give you an understanding of designing, developing and evaluating Learning Health Systems

This video lesson will provide an overview of the PINCER intervention and describe how it was rolled out to over 40% of GP practices in England.

Traditional computing approaches are no longer adequate for the tens of petabytes of data generated each year in healthcare settings. Health data comes from diverse sources, such as electronic health records, medical imaging, wearable devices, genomic sequencing, clinical research, and even from social media, with different frequencies and formats. Distributed computing technologies are a suitable approach to deal with the increasing volume and complexity of healthcare data. By distributing data and processing across multiple machines, healthcare settings can integrate diverse data sources, implement real-time services, and analyse massive amounts of historical data to improve patient treatment and outcomes.

This video lesson will introduce you to digital competency and capability frameworks applicable to healthcare.

This pathway is aligned with the National Competency Framework for Data Professionals in Health and Care and is aimed at early-career analysts working at Competency Associate Practitioner (L1) and Competency Practitioner (L2) levels. It is ideal for those in roles such as Assistant Analyst, Data Assistant, Junior Analyst (Band 3/4), and Data Analyst, Information Officer (Band 5/6). The course focuses on building skills in communication, teamwork, and aligning analytical work with clinical and organisational goals.
