This page describes how the framework is structured and has instructions on how to use it.
The framework is made up of 6 Capability Areas applicable to the delivery of health and social care services.
Each Capability Area has a list of Capability Statements which outline a relevant set of skills, knowledge and behaviours.
For each Capability Statement there are 3 Levels that give specific examples of what you should be able to do and how you should feel, for 3 increasing levels of digital capability.
~ Level 1 outlines the essential digital skills, knowledge and behaviours everyone working within health and social care needs to evidence in order to do their job and deliver safe, quality health and social care services for all.
~ Level 2 builds on Level 1, developing confidence so that you are independently able to carry out tasks, interested to build your knowledge, and able to identify digital improvement opportunities.
~ Level 3 builds on Level 2, further increasing confidence so that you are able to act on improvement opportunities, champion aspects of digital, support others with their development and advocate for digital transformation.
You should use the framework to review your current levels of digital capability and plan your next steps to further develop your skills, knowledge and behaviour. There are two ways in which you can do this:
Using the Framework Site |
The framework is available to access using this link: The Framework. Work through the framework pages following the detailed instructions below. Record your digital capability levels as you go, either noting these yourself or using this downloadable personal record template. Instructions

Using the Self-Assessment Tool |
The self-assessment tool is available to access using this link: Digital and Data Capability Framework Self Assessment Tool. The tool is a form that will guide you through the framework to select your current digital capability levels. You'll then receive an email with a record of the levels you chose and links to learning resources. Please note it should take around 20-30 minutes to work through the form. It is not possible to save your progress as you go through the form so please make sure you have enough time available before you start. Instructions
