Develop capability through collaboration.
To work with healthcare professionals and institutions to build practical skills, strengthen curricula and improve professional programmes so practitioners can meet safe standards of care.
Why we exist.
We support healthcare professionals and institutions to improve learning, clinical practice and patient safety.
Better support for the people delivering care.
The Centre for Medical Informatics and Professional Development is a non-governmental organisation committed to addressing disparities in healthcare standards between developing and developed countries.
We provide educational support, strengthen professional practice and work with institutions to improve the quality and safety of care. Our programmes are developed with local professionals and adapted to the setting in which care is delivered.
Safer and more effective treatment.
Patients and service users in developing countries should receive care that is safe, effective, respectful and appropriate to their local context.
Partnership before prescription.
CMIPD begins by understanding the people, systems and priorities in each setting.
That approach makes programmes more practical, culturally aware and easier for local teams to sustain. It also creates room for shared learning between professionals in Nigeria, the United Kingdom and partner institutions.
