What is a digital leader?
27 January 2022, 1.30-2.30pm
Digital technology in health and social care has the potential to transform and future-proof services for Scotland’s citizens. At the heart of all innovation and change is always people. This interactive webinar will explore your understanding of digital leadership. You will hear from a range of individuals working across health and care who consider themselves to be digital leaders. You will also find out how you might increase your own skills and knowledge to lead in a digital world.
This webinar will be run by NHS Education for Scotland’s new Digitally Enabled Workforce team who are embarking on an initial two-year programme of work to increase digital capabilities and leadership across the health and social care workforce.

How can I contribute to creating an inclusive work culture? - webinar with Dr Debbie Bayntun-Lees
National Inclusion Week is the annual celebration of togetherness, recognising inclusion in all of its forms. It highlights the importance of inclusive practices, especially within the workplace, and the need to educate business leaders on their role in the quest for equality.
This session we are pleased to welcome Dr Debbie Bayntun-Lees, Professor of Organisation Development from Hult Ashridge to help us explore acts of inclusion at the level of our individual behaviour that are key to strengthening equality and enabling people (in whatever context) to be the best they can be. Participants will be encouraged to consider how you personally can contribute to developing an inclusive culture at work through building trust, becoming aware of unconscious bias and building your DQ (diverse intelligence).
