Developing digital skills is crucial for the UK healthcare system's transformation. Two projects used co-design to create a capability framework for the NHS workforce and a Clinical Data Science course.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Informatics
- Digital Health Workforce Development
Background:
- The UK healthcare system is undergoing significant digital transformation.
- This necessitates enhanced digital capabilities across all staff levels, from basic literacy to advanced data analytics.
- Bridging the gap between clinical practice and data-centric professions is essential for successful digital health initiatives.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a digital healthcare technologies capability framework for the wider NHS workforce.
- To create a postgraduate Clinical Data Science course to foster collaboration between clinicians and data professionals.
- To support the digital transformation of healthcare through targeted education and skill development.
Main Methods:
- Co-design methodology involving end-users and stakeholders.
- Development of a comprehensive capability framework for digital health skills.
- Curriculum design for a postgraduate Clinical Data Science course.
Main Results:
- A digital healthcare technologies capability framework tailored for the NHS workforce.
- A postgraduate Clinical Data Science course designed to integrate clinical and data science expertise.
- Enhanced understanding of co-design's role in developing relevant digital health training.
Conclusions:
- Co-design is effective in creating targeted digital health capabilities for the NHS.
- The developed framework and course address critical skill gaps for digital transformation.
- Investing in workforce digital capabilities is vital for the future of UK healthcare.
