What is the Topol alumni?

The Topol Digital Fellowship gives fellows the skills and techniques to implement real change in the NHS and social care in digital technologies. The alumni network provides the opportunity for fellows who have completed the programme to continue this learning through a series of Masterclasses and a community of peers to maintain and broaden their network.
