The Digitally Enabled Workforce (DEW) team at NES is commissioned by the Scottish Government and COSLA to deliver the Building Digital Data and Digital Leadership Capabilities Programme, which includes the KIND (Knowledge, Information and Data) learning network.
The network is open to employees from all health and social care settings in Scotland including NHS, Local Authorities, Health and Social Care Partnerships, Social Work, Social Care, Care and Support Providers, Housing, and the Third and Independent Sectors. It exists to further the leading role of the community in the digital transformation of health and care by supporting learning, sharing of best practice, and developing interdisciplinary collaborations.
