Our summer intern programme brings together enthusiastic young people with a diverse range of skills to work with us on the most recent problem(s) brought to us by our healthcare partners, in search of a solution. By joining the team, you will work on an innovative digital and/or physical solution using data which will make a difference to the healthcare system. See the links below for some of the projects tackled by previous year interns.
Building a successful team is as much of a challenge as the technical aspects of a project itself – so while some of the interns who join us will be very strong in tech, data and analytics – others will take roles on design, customer and business requirements.
During your time as an intern, we will provide the team with coaching and supervision using in-house staff and experts from NHS and Government. Our projects are developed in an agile/scrum project framework, and we hold regular group sessions to tease out some of the more complex issues.
