HSMA Resources

Through the Health Service Modelling Associates (HSMA) Programme we aim to build a culture and skills base through which simulation and modelling techniques are routinely used to support decisions within health, social care, and policing organisations. This course supports participants to use Operational Research (OR) and Data Science techniques within service development and decision making.

The HSMA Programme was conceived and developed by the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration South West Peninsula (PenARC). 

HSMA is supported by the NHS Digital Academy

HSMA is the first course accredited by the Association of Professional Healthcare Analysts (AphA).
