Our digital strategy focuses on using technology to make care easier, faster and more connected for patients and staff. We are:
- Engaging nursing and clinical teams in designing and using digital tools so they fit everyday work.
- Providing digitally‑enabled care that improves communication between patients, families and health professionals.
- Reducing duplicated paperwork by moving to electronic records and shared systems, which frees staff time for compassionate care.
- Ensuring all nursing staff have regular access to electronic updates and the systems they need, such as Connected Care.
- Including nurses on the Digital Clinical Leadership Group and in every clinical digital programme to keep the staff voice at the centre.
- Expanding services like our Urgent Community Response Virtual Ward, using innovations such as Medic Chat, Microsoft Teams for remote connectivity, and remote clinical supervision.
- Using digital technology across our five‑year plan to help people get the right care at the right time, close to home, and to support prevention and early support.
These actions are part of our broader aim to make health services more accessible, reduce health inequalities and support staff in delivering high‑quality, patient‑focused care.
