To support adult social care staff to develop their knowledge and confidence in using digital technology, Skills for Care was commissioned by the NHS-TD to develop a suite of free-to-access ‘bitesize’ digital skills eLearning modules, in line with the Digital Skills Framework.
The eLearning modules were shaped and co-developed with people within adult social care, including care providers, local authorities, people drawing on care and support and subject matter experts. The modules are designed to support people working in adult social care to gain knowledge and understanding on how digital, data and technology is used in the sector.
They are free to access, with the opportunity to receive a completion certificate at the end of each module (or a single certificate for all seven modules if they are all completed).
The digital leadership programme is a national development between Skills for Care and The National Care Forum for both new and experienced managers of adult social care services.
The four-day learning programme will support managers to have the underpinning skills, knowledge and models of digital leadership that can be practically applied when implementing technology in a care service and promote best practice.
It will improve confidence in identifying how digital technology supports the delivery of quality care and will enable managers to identify technology in the market, understand the barriers to technology adoption and how an organisation may choose to address them.
Book your place on the next cohort starting on Thursday 7 November.
