Hi Chris (and the list)
We have run an MSc in Health Informatics (now being run down through
lack of University resource!) for seven years. Most of our students
have gained some funding from their employers. It is a distance
learning programe, so can be taken by a wide cross section of students.
Many students start the course with little or no funding; they pick up
support as they demonstrate ability and commitment.
Have you tried the Education, Training and Development fund within the
local LIS?
