CHIME International was in Sharjah, UAE to deliver unit two of its three-month education programme for Emirates Health Services. Over four days we met and taught 80 digital health leaders from across the Northern Emirates who joined us in two cohorts: Intermediate and Advanced. What an absolute pleasure it was to work with such committed and thoughtful people. The curriculum took the best of CHIME education, taught by me, Diarmaid and Harpreet and blended it with a local and organisational focus, taught by Zeina, Ahmad and Christian. The days sped by as we covered leading change,
building teams, the clinical imperative for digital health, the role of the CIO, communications, cyber security, user centred design and the future of healthcare.
I truly hope we will be back in the GCC region soon to work with many more digital health leaders. For now, my heartfelt thanks go to:
