The Introduction to Population Health Management (PHM) elearning programme has been significantly reviewed and updated to further upskill health and care professionals in the approach.

The reviewed content, developed with NHS England and wider partners, covers topics including how to get started on PHM, core capabilities, intelligence tools and practical examples.

PHM uses linked data and continuous improvement cycles to understand the needs of local people and communities. It helps predict what is driving poor future outcomes and supports frontline teams with designing and implementing new preventative models to meet local needs.

Additional elearning on related topics such as needs assessment and population segmentation are also available. The modules are all hosted on the Population Health Management section on NHS England’s elearning for healthcare Hub.

A new communications toolkit for colleagues to promote PHM within their own networks is also now available.
