Digital health technology is revolutionising the way healthcare is delivered across the NHS. Electronic patient records (EPRs), telemedicine platforms, and AI-assisted diagnostic tools are becoming standard in modern healthcare settings.
For clinicians, this means new skills to master. Understanding how to use EPR systems efficiently can save hours each shift. Telemedicine consultations require different communication techniques compared to face-to-face appointments.
The NHS Digital Academy offers free training in digital health literacy for all NHS staff. Embracing these technologies can improve patient outcomes, reduce administrative burden, and open up new career paths in clinical informatics and digital health leadership.
