We have launched the new Digital and Data Capability Framework, designed to support the development of digital capabilities for everyone working in health and social care in Scotland.

The new framework supports our commitment to improving  the digital capabilities of everyone as detailed in our updated Delivery Plan. It has been developed by NHS Education for Scotland on behalf of Scottish Government and COSLA.

The framework applies to the entire health and social care workforce in Scotland – NHS, Local Authorities, Health and Social Care Partnerships, Social Work, Social Care, Care and Support Providers, Housing, Third and Independent Sectors – including managers, leaders and those in strategic positions.

Hosted on the Turas platform, the framework identifies the digital skills, knowledge and behaviours the workforce needs to do their jobs and deliver safe and good quality care and support.

The framework complements existing organisational and professional learning and development frameworks and should be used in conjunction with these to provide a specific digital and data focus.

We would be grateful for feedback on the framework via the feedback form on the site.
