Training, Knowledge and Skills Needs in Digital Health
EPSRC’s Healthcare Technologies team, Innovate UK and KTN would like to hear your views on training available and knowledge/skills needed in digital health for the UK. The outcome of this survey will inform us about how we can best support our academic and business communities with the training and skills needed to support the development of digital health solutions.
Are you a UK based business developing products or services aimed at health and/or care sectors? Is there a data, digital or software aspect to your offer now or under development?
If the answers are yes, please continue to read to help the UK Government support your future endeavours.
It is well understood that there is a global skills gap impacting many sectors of the economy and this is particularly evident in digital and health sectors including digital health and care and smart Med Tech.
The UK Government, through EPSRC’S Healthcare Technologies team, UKRI – Innovate UK, and supported by KTN, proposes to close that gap through dedicated training and skills development. We need YOUR help to define where emphasis should be placed and how to provide that support for skills, in a way that suits the business community.
