6 session course: 11th May – 18th July 2023
This course will provide attendees with an understanding of the key concepts underlying the Population Health Management (PHM) cycle and the approaches taken at each step, without descending into complex technical details.
There will be practical activities, interactive sessions and useful examples, with plenty of opportunity for discussion and questions.
The course will cover the need to look beyond just ‘care’ and to look at ‘health’ and the wider determinants of health more broadly. It will also consider the need to work with additional stakeholders and the challenges that systems face when they have potentially conflicting goals and measures of success.
You don’t need to have attended previous training sessions to understand this course.
This course is designed to give valuable insights for employees across the system, whether you’re analytical, management or clinical.
Although participants of the course will not be analysing data themselves, they will leave with a good understanding of the analytical techniques, the pitfalls and biases of these approaches and be better able to interpret and use the results of these kind of analyses.
If you are looking for an analytical course – please sign up to Population Health Management for Analysts, which follows the same curriculum as Population Health Management but adds 5 sessions dedicated to programming and statistical techniques
11th May 1-3
What is population health management and how can it help us deliver better health and care? This session offers an overview of what population health management is, its benefits, and methods used to analyse population health.
It will equip you with the ability to articulate and know when to apply population health management techniques.
25th May 1-3
Using real-world examples, this session will provide you with an understanding of the benefits of integrated care for population health.
We’ll take a look at how and when systems work well together and the common challenges and explore the tools which can support how system relationships can be measured.
6th June 1-3
None of the technical language, all of the benefits! This session will give you an understanding of what segmentation is and the ability to interpret and evaluate segmentation analysis.
20th Jun 1-3
Your straight-forward guide to the principles of risk stratification.
Join our expert team exploring how to interpret and evaluate risk stratification analysis.
4th Jul 1-3
What is impactibility and what does it mean for your population? Join this session to find out and learn the ability to interpret and evaluate impactibility analysis.
18th Jul 1-3
Once you’ve learned the principles and techniques of PHM, how can you tell if they’re working? This session looks at the need for evaluating PHM interventions and how you can measure their effectiveness in your area.

“The presentation was well delivered with the use of real world examples. The presenter was extremely knowledgeable and explained PHM in an understandable way.”
“Energy was great and very engaging. There was a wealth of information but Andy would take the time to answer questions-really liked how questions sessions were dotted around the presentation.”
