Northern Health Futures Hub |
Digital Health Skills Pulse Survey
The NortHFutures Hub aims to facilitate the cross-sector research and development of healthcare technologies (health tech) to support people’s health, care and wellbeing in the North East and North Cumbria (NENC) region of the UK.
The Hub facilitates responsible research and design innovation in health-tech, supported by inclusive digital skills sharing, training, and by making connections.
This survey has been designed to understand current digital training and skills development needs in the health and care sector, plus skills and training opportunities and offers, within our region. We also seek to understand the training needs and offers in our region for doing health-tech innovation and entrepreneurship, as well as opportunities for knowledge sharing that supports digital health initiatives.
Your views will provide invaluable insight and evidence to shape our planning around the facilitation and resourcing of training and skills sharing activities.
