This session will showcase what is meant by the digital transformation of healthcare and how to support the workforce for this change. We will explore training on new digital tools and technologies, such as Electronic Patient Record (EPR) upgrades, remote monitoring, benefits and limits of AI in healthcare, as well as addressing digital literacy gaps, behaviour change/change management and the skills healthcare professionals will need in the next five-to-ten years.

We will give examples from the current joint EPR implementation across different providers in Essex and from the Nova academy, which has been developed to support staff through the coming changes.
