Harnessing digital technologies for workforce development, education and training: an overview

Date: 24 January 2023

Health Education England (HEE) has published a summary report into how the use of digital technologies will help the health and care workforce perform to their full potential and meet the future demand for services.

Expanding on the legacy of the Topol Review, chaired by digital leader, cardiologist, and geneticist Professor Eric Topol, this report delves deeper into ensuring our health and care workforce is digitally ready for the future.

It explores how HEE is investing and making a difference by developing a continuous learning environment and enabling new ways of working, as well as highlighting how improved technology can help health and care services to be organised and delivered more efficiently.

Enhancing the use of digital technology also means the NHS and partners can widen access and participation for healthcare training and education and promote diversity and inclusion in the workforce.
