North London Mental Health Partnership has announced the launch of a new Digital Academy, looking to enhance the digital capabilities of staff and upskilling with an emphasis on “intelligent use of data” to drive improvements in patient outcomes.
The academy, delivered by Multiverse, has seen a total of 50 members of staff receiving training to date, with a further 50 to be enrolled in March with the aim of “embedding cultural change across the partnership”.
The trust also seeks to embed understanding of data and insights across the organisation in the hopes of enhancing services and improving outcomes for patients and service users.
Sarah Wilkins, CDIO at North London Mental Health Partnership, says: “Not only will it drive operational efficiency, but it will also serve as a stepping stone in our commitment to professional development for our staff.”
Peppa Wise, VP Go To Market at Multiverse, comments: “Through this partnership, North London Mental Health Partnership is not only investing in its operational efficiency to better support patients and service users, but it is also nurturing its workforce with cutting-edge data skills. This step will enhance patient services and outcomes, reflecting the growing embrace of a data-driven approach across the NHS.”
