Closing date March 3rd 2019 for first batch 20 available across England
This is an exciting opportunity for all NHS clinical staff (AFC Band 6 and above/Post Foundation Training) including doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, dentists, healthcare scientists, pharmacists and others to join the NHS digital revolution.
Health Education England are launching 20 new digital fellowships to incorporate digital health expertise within their careers and pursue training in informatics and digital health. This is an exciting step in how the NHS will prepare staff for a digital future.
The recently published Topol Review outlined recommendations to ensure the NHS is the world leader in using innovative technology to benefit patients. It will involve implementing technologies such as genomics, digital medicine, artificial intelligence and robotics at a faster pace and on a greater scale than anywhere else in the world.
This is happening now, and the Topol programme for Digital Fellowships aims to support NHS organisations to invest in clinical staff to develop specialist digital skills, including the use of digital technologies, while giving clinicians enough time outside of clinical commitments to dedicate training for a digital future.
