Digital Health
Benefit from the latest technologies to excel as a PA.
What is digital health?
Digital tools and services help promote active and healthy ageing by encouraging independence, social participation, and ensuring healthcare access. For example, Near Me video consultations remove the stress and effort of travelling to physical appointments.
Near Me also provides information about waiting times and diagnoses can be made online via video call. This tool is helpful for PAs and other healthcare professionals and can make your lives easier.
Digital Health Workshops
At PANS, we aim to carry out several digital-health workshops to help you develop in your role as a PA. These include ways that digital tools can support employment, how they can support you in your role, the benefits of online health apps, and the basics of digital skills.
We also will have Technology Enabled Care (TEC) workshops available, subject to interest.

Digital in Social Care – Essential Skills
Developed by NHS education (Digitally Enabled Workforce Team) for Scotland on behalf of the Scottish Govt and COSLA the Digital & Data Capability framework has been created to support the development of digital for everyone working in health & social care. The framework identifies the digital skills, knowledge and behaviors that are essential for these supportive roles.
Worth following link below to explore The Framework, each of the 6 topics are broken down into useful categories, applicable to the delivery of health and social care services. Capability statements, at 3 levels, identify relevant, digital behaviors, skills & knowledge. There are also helpful, per topic resources links too!
