Digital literacy survey for health

SECTOR UPDATE – Ministry of Health

Healthcare professionals need digital literacy to do their work safely and effectively. While other aspects of the health profession use traditional education models, we don’t currently have a formal training system or recognised titles for digital qualifications.

People often work in digital and data roles and use digital tools by learning as they go, getting support from online communities and resources.

We want to understand how the health and disability sector has incorporated digital tools and platforms, what people already know and what they feel they lack.

Digital expertise can take many forms, so we want to hear from everyone. You don’t have to be a coder.

Please circulate this survey with your networks in the health and disability sector. We want to make sure our work responds to the needs of providers, and having a large number of responses from a wide range of people will help make that happen.

Access the online survey here. Survey closes 20 December.
