Module 4: Applying Analytics to Healthcare Scenarios

Module 4: Applying Analytics to Healthcare Scenarios bridges theory and practice by placing learners in real-world NHS contexts where data-driven decision-making is essential. Using case studies such as hospital readmission reduction, A&E flow optimisation, and population health monitoring, students will apply analytical methods to solve practical problems. With over 25 million outpatient appointments annually in the NHS, the ability to interpret trends, forecast demand, and evaluate service impact is critical. This module reinforces critical thinking, stakeholder communication, and the translation of insights into actionable recommendations—key skills for any healthcare analyst driving system-wide improvement.
