NHS Digital offers year-long secondment programme for health and social-care workers.
The health service’s central digital body is looking for applicants for a pilot of its Clinical Informatics Fellowship Programme. The organisation is seeking nurses, therapists, pharmacists, and “other professionals engaged in clinical or care duties”. It is also accepting applications from social workers, who will have their own strand within the fellowship scheme.
Successful applicants will spend 12 months embedded within NHS Digital, and will have the chance to learn about informatics and digital technology, and how it can be used in delivering care. The idea is that they will then be able to go back to their employer and pass on the knowledge that they have gained, and help build digital and informatics skills across their organisation.
