Why clinicians in digital roles are fundamental to transformation across health and care

In this podcast clinical and digital leaders share their deep understanding of the digital workforce across health and care, focusing on why clinicians are fundamental to the success of digital transformation across the sector. We hear how digital skills and knowledge are in demand more than ever before but hampered by a skills gap blocking some of the ambitions of health and care organisations. With NHS England’s upcoming Digital Workforce Plan focused on narrowing this skills gap, the panel share their ideas on ensuring its success. These ideas shape a lively discussion around “demystifying digital for clinicians”, the need to “translate opportunities across the workforce” and why we need to “enable digital roles at every level to deliver the will of organisations”. As one of the panel puts it; “we feel a bit disruptive, it’s exciting!”. Let the transformation commence.
