The event was joined also by Professor Panos Vardas, Radu Huculeci, and Aino Bannwart from the European Society of Cardiology in celebration of the ongoing success of this collaborative programme.
The event was hosted by Professor Andrew Street, Head of Department, and Alexander Carter, Associate Professor (Education) and Programme Director.
Our alumni shared inspiring updates on their work since graduating, including innovations like an NLP system transforming patient safety, how AI helps to understand the genetics of heart disease, establishing the congenital heart disease programme for Namibia, and the digital transformation of healthcare, among others.
As always, we're committed to fostering meaningful connections with our prospective students, participants, and alumni as we continue to grow our EMSc community. You can explore our alumni profiles on our dedicated Alumni Network site here:

Kishore Iyer
Director, Intestinal & Multi-visceral Transplant, Professor of Surgery & Pediatrics, Mount Sinai Medical Center
The LSE/NICE Executive Program has turned out to be a very stimulating mix of very well-organized classes and seminars taking us rapidly and seamlessly from the basics to real-world challenges. The pace is fast but with abundant time for discussion. The mix of LSE faculty and NICE’s technical experts is particularly valuable as it allows for translating theory into practice. The best aspect of the class though is the benefit of the unique perspectives from my truly global classmates who each brings his or her own unique experiences to bear on the discussions.
Pierre Roca
External Relations Officer, World Health Organization
The excellent courses and the intensive work with the dissertation opened new perspectives and gave me new skills that helped me transition to a new phase of my career. After working in the pharmaceutical industry, I moved on to work in the United Nations system and also held a position in the European Commission. Furthermore, I expanded my network of relevant health economics and policy experts and I made many new friends with whom I am still in contact.
Maddalena Lettino
Cardiology Director, San Gerardo Hospital
I gained the important knowledge and skills needed to become a director in my hospital. I learnt how to measure my work’s impact, to improve quality of care, to understand the financial aspects of the healthcare system and to manage an effective team.
