Demystifying Tech for Healthcare Workforce

There's an emerging need to raise awareness of digital literacy among health and social care workforce. This requires the development of the skills, attitude and behaviours that individuals require to become digitally competent and confident.

This Sprint sets the foundations for eqppd, an experiential learning programme curated for demystifying emerging tech and nurturing a digital mindset across the healthcare workforce. This programme brings together the principles of design thinking, creative learning, prototyping, and digital buddying.

This will help participants gain an understanding of emerging technologies, its application to healthcare, and generate a selection of use-cases for further experimentation.

2. Understand how to apply a digital perspective when it comes to evaluating your business challenges for example, process improvement, cultural change, or transforming care delivery models etc.
3. Learn and practice the process of developing use-cases for a range of digitisation scenarios.
