How can primary care support staff to upskill and become more confident in using digital tools? In a panel discussion with HTN and Liz Leggott from South Yorkshire Primary Workforce and Training Hub, OX.DH’s chief operating officer highlighted the “real need to support people who are less confident” and noted the apparent disconnect between how confident people tend to be with technology in their everyday lives, and how confident they are in using tech for healthcare purposes. On how OX.DH supports staff to feel confident and comfortable using digital tools, she explained that sandbox environments are used so that people can test their skills with fictitious patients and get used to the system. “It’s about trying to make it easier for users; so actually, you can’t hit the wrong button if the wrong button isn’t there, and you can’t undertake activities that perhaps your job role doesn’t allow you to do. That role access is a safety net for staff, because then they know they can’t perform actions that would potentially cause problems.” You can catch up on more insights from the panel discussion here: https://hubs.la/Q02vFYl60
