4. Digital inclusion “Digital inclusion is not an optional extra, it is central to the five year forward view.” – Simon Stevens “The power of the web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect” - Tim Berners-Lee “I recommend that digital inclusion programmes are embedded in all areas of NHS work nationally and locally including in commissioning. Reaching the furthest first should be a critical principle of everyone’s work.” – Martha Lane Fox

5. What does ‘digital literacy’ do? Improved outcomes Reduced use of healthcare facilities Reduced cost to the healthcare system Improvements in general health Improved health literacy

7. What opportunities will there be? You will be increasingly supported through your organisational leadership and technology leaders A Learning Hub, including for digital skills will be launched A Faculty of clinical informatics will be established by 2019 Influence the existing nursing curricula A professional doctoral programme in Clinical Bioinformatics (Health Informatics) at the University of Manchester will be available to all senior healthcare professionals from 2017 Networks of nurses interested in using technology will be identified or established to support and promote continuous development

10. OUTCOMES Leadership: We will have helped educate leaders to make the best decisions and enable their own organisations We will have established ongoing support mechanisms for leaders and their organisations Wider workforce (competencies): We will have described what each area of the health and care workforce needs to know to enable them to be effective in a digital, paperless work environment We will have made available (most likely through Professional Bodies and Colleges) the appropriate learning products that deliver the knowledge required for each area of the workforce to enable them to be effective in a digital, paperless work environment Professionalism: We will have established the mechanism for a standards based professional informatics workforce across health and care, and will have provided levers for this mechanism to flourish. We will ensure that those medical professionals who work within informatics will be recognised within an environment with agreed professional standards (Faculty of Medical Informatics).
