Testimonial
Nottingham Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust ran a Digital literacy course in 2024. Dr Kehinde Junaid provided the following update:
“Following our jointly organised RCPsych pilot digital literacy course we held here in January 2024.
“The Trust Board started a Valuing Medical Leadership Programme [VML], which was launched in January 2025.
“One of the plans was to revisit where we are following the RCPsych Digital literacy course and to work on the identified needs and gaps in terms of our Digital development.
“This resulted in new roles in the Trust – 3 Medical Clinical Digital Champions. I have taken one of these roles to support the roll out of a series of IT based Digital programmes to improve the extent of our digital maturity as a Trust, ultimately impacting positively on our work as clinicians, and experience for our Service users.
“The roll out will include Rio updates, electronic prescribing updates/roll outs, a Notts Care record review/launch, Robotic Process Automation, and a host of others including considerations around the use of AI.
“To say it finally feels as if things are moving is an understatement, and to be honest, I am quietly excited at the prospect of what all of this might bring for service delivery.”
