Our Group Digital Strategy

← Back to Themes

Supporting our staff

 

Our ambition for this theme

We want our digital systems to transform the workplace, making it a better and more efficient place to work. We will do the hard work to design our systems and processes to make things easier for our staff.

We will have a single sign-on service for our staff. Our people will have the appropriate hardware and software to do their job and feel confident about using our digital systems.

Our approach to training and support for staff will be continuous and adaptive, using data to target the support to staff to help them to make the most of our systems.

 

Our priorities

  1. We will develop universal NHS.net and Office 365 accounts across all sites for our staff.
  2. We will make sure that staff have the appropriate kit and software that they need to do their jobs.
  3. We will provide amazing training and support for our staff and ensure that we are building digital literacy.
