Thriving in a Digital Age Pathways: Monthly Update
Pathway Flyer

We are delighted to let you know that the Thriving in a Digital Age Pathways have been update for November 2024.

Developed by NHS Education for Scotland on behalf of Scottish Government and COSLA, the Pathways are intended to build understanding of the role of digital in health and social care. There are four pathways; Explore, Embed, Drive and Shape which are aligned to levels of responsibility. Key digital concepts are introduced and developed over the course of the pathway series, with each pathway building on the themes introduced in the pathway before.

The pathways are not specific to any profession, organisation or role and apply to the entire health and social care workforce in Scotland (NHS, Local Authorities, Health and Social Care Partnerships, Social Work, Social Care, Care and Support Providers, Housing, Third and Independent Sectors), including managers, leaders, and those in strategic positions.
