HEE offering digital healthcare fellowships
Health Education England is inviting candidates for 35 new digital health fellowships aimed at helping clinical professionals build digital health expertise into their careers.
Successful applicants will receive equivalent funding up to 40 per cent of their salary to give them protected time to engage in digital initiatives.
After shortlisting and interview, successful applicants will be given time and support to design and deliver digital health projects and initiatives within their employing trusts. They will have access to a programme of workshops enabling them to lead digital health transformations for NHS staff and patients.
Applications are open to a wide range of NHS staff including doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, dentists, healthcare scientists, pharmacists and others. Candidates for all fellowships may be in training or in a permanent position.
Patrick Mitchell, Director of Innovation and Transformation, Health Education England, said: “The use of digital technologies including AI, robotics and digital medicine are shaping up to be central to the future of healthcare delivery. The Topol Digital Fellowships give candidates an invaluable opportunity for protected time away from clinical commitments to focus on helping shape the NHS through this digital revolution.”
Recruitment for this round opens on September 1 and runs until September 30. This second cohort of the Topol Programme for Digital Fellowships follows recommendations in the 2019 Topol Review to ensure that the NHS leads the world in using innovative technology to benefit patients.
