Overview:

Funding was received from Health Education England to support digital upskilling. The work was developed through coproduction and feedback from community pharmacy teams. A steering group comprising of representatives from SNEE ICB, Healthwatch Essex, Community Pharmacy Norfolk and Suffolk guided the project, and aided project co-ordination and delivery.
We conducted a rapid review looking at digital transformation in the NHS across the UK, aligned with the NHS Long Term Plan and links with other digital initiatives such as the WHO Global Digital Strategy for Health. We then explored digital gaps in primary care, highlighting the Primary Care Access Plan and digital health targets in Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board (SNEE ICB) through its annual digital report.

Aim and objectives:

Overall Aim: To review the current and local academic and grey literature in the context of digital upskilling in healthcare.

This rapid review was conducted in 2023/24
