For individuals
An 8-week programme that turns practice into evidence employers can see.
Live online teaching, the MedX Simulator and career preparation, for graduates, career changers, returners and internationally experienced professionals who want to move into healthcare administration, data and informatics roles.

Learning pathways
Administrative work creates the data that healthcare runs on. MedX teaches all three together, so learners understand how a record entered at the front desk becomes a figure in an operational report.
- Covered in the 8-week programme
Healthcare Administration
Patient registration, referrals, appointments, waiting lists, records and pathway administration.
Healthcare administration pathway - Optional extension
Healthcare Data & Analytics
Excel, SQL, Power BI and Python exercises covering data quality, analysis and operational reporting.
Data and analytics pathway - Covered in the 8-week programme
Healthcare Informatics
How patient administration systems, information flows, data standards and validation support healthcare operations.
Informatics pathway
Specialist pathway
RTT and waiting list management
Develop practical understanding of referral-to-treatment pathways, clock events, waiting times, breach risks and validation.
The pathway runs on the rules-based RTT engine, the core technology inside the MedX Simulator. Every event a learner records recalculates clock status, elapsed wait and breach position, and is checked against pathway rules.
Covered in the 8-week programme
- Week 0Referral received. Clock starts
- Week 3First outpatient appointment
- Week 7Diagnostic test
- Week 11Added to the waiting list
- Week 16Treatment. Clock stops
From application to interview-ready
Five stages, each with something to show for it.
- 1
Apply
Tell us your background and goals. We check the programme fits before you pay.
- 2
Onboard
Platform access, timetable and a baseline of what you already know, turned into a personal learning plan.
- 3
Practise
Weeks 1 to 7: live sessions three times a week and simulator tasks in between, on fictional patients.
- 4
Build your evidence
Completed pathways, validation work and PTL outputs you can explain, plus analytics work if you take the extension.
- 5
Interview-ready
Week 8: a targeted CV and an interview evidence bank, then graduate support and outcome tracking.
Eight weeks from theory to interview-ready evidence
Learners study healthcare administration, data and informatics, including RTT principles, practise in the MedX Simulator, review validation results and turn completed work into CV and interview evidence. Everything uses fictional patient records. No live patient systems are used.
- Before Week 1
Onboarding
Platform access, expectations, baseline capability and programme orientation. You leave with a personal learning plan.
- Weeks 1–2
Foundation
Healthcare administration, pathway concepts, data quality and workflow terminology, with theory checks and your first simulator tasks.
- Weeks 3–6
Operational practice
Queues, appointments, pathway validation, exception handling and performance routines, producing completed simulations and work samples.
- Week 7
Applied consolidation
Integrated scenarios, review and correction of decisions, building evidence of practical competence.
- Week 8
Career conversion
CV workshop, competency examples and interview preparation using the work you have completed. You leave with a targeted CV and an interview evidence bank.
- Optional, 3 weeks
Healthcare data analytics extension
Excel, SQL, Python, pandas, Power BI and Tableau using the synthetic PTL data you generated in the simulator.
- After completion
Graduate support
Network access, outcome tracking and peer support.
What learners actually do
Real types of administrative work, on fictional patients. Each task leaves something a learner can show and explain at interview.
-
Patient registration · Referral information
Register a referral and start the clock
Create a fictional patient, record an incoming referral and check that the RTT clock starts on the right date.
Produces A complete patient record with a correctly started pathway
-
Validate now · Pathway list
Validate a pathway approaching breach
Review event order, resolve validation flags and explain the clock position, wait and breach risk.
Produces A validated pathway and a written explanation of the decision
-
PTL extracts · Excel or SQL
Clean a PTL extract
Download the patient tracking list your own work generated, then find duplicates, missing outcomes and date mismatches.
Produces A cleaned dataset with data-quality issues logged
-
Analytics extension · Power BI or Tableau
Build a waiting-list dashboard
Turn synthetic PTL data into a view of waits by specialty and weeks waited, and present what it shows.
Produces A portfolio dashboard and a short presentation
Questions people ask
Is MedX approved by the NHS?
No. MedX Services Ltd is an independent company and is not affiliated with or endorsed by NHS England or any NHS organisation. The programme prepares people for administrative roles in the NHS and other healthcare organisations, using fictional data.
Do I need healthcare experience to join?
No. The programme is designed for graduates, career changers, returners and internationally experienced professionals. You need to be comfortable using a computer and able to attend live online sessions.
Is any of the patient data real?
No. Every patient, pathway and dataset in the simulator is fictional. The simulator has no connection to any live healthcare system.
Do you guarantee a job?
No. Recruitment decisions are made by employers. We help you build practical evidence of your skills and prepare for applications and interviews, but we never guarantee employment.
How is the programme delivered?
Live online, across the UK: 24 two-hour sessions over 8 weeks, with simulator practice and theory materials between sessions. An optional 3-week healthcare data analytics extension follows.
