The UK has a group of vibrant innovators who have been developing apps for the benefit of health and social care in the UK. The challenge is validating the apps for the NHS without incurring huge expense and then getting the commercial directorate of NHS England (and the other devolved nations) to purchase the apps without having to jump through all the hurdles provided by the NHS purchasers.
UKDHC in collaboration with the University of Central Lancashire and Think Employment has developed a digital competency self-assessment on-line module to help health and care staff to assess their own digital competencies. Any NHS or care employee will be able to link to our assessment programme from home and carry out their own ‘self-assessment’ online.
