Digital Health and Care Leadership Programme is now open to applicants for Cohort 20

We are now accepting applications for Cohort 20 of the Digital Health and Care Leadership Programme (DLP). Fully funded by Scottish Government and led by NES, this programme cohort will start in May 2023 and is designed for anyone:

  • keen to explore how technology can benefit people / service users
  • who would like to develop their leadership skills
  • interested in digital health and care
  • in a position to make a change (for example, leading a team, service, or project)

As part of the programme, participants will progress a digital improvement project within their organisation.  There will be an opportunity to develop their project idea in the early stages of the programme.

We welcome team applications from those who wish to work collaboratively on a project. To be inspired you can read about projects from past participants.

Potential projects ideas could be around:

  • using data to improve a service
  • leading on a system roll out
  • adoption of an M365 app in your service
  • evaluation of an existing digital service
  • roll out of devices
  • using digital technology to share information

Find more information about the programme, including the application guidance on our programme site. 

We will also be hosting some informal Q&A sessions for those wishing to find out more and ask any questions they may have. Register here to book a place on a session. 

Any queries should be directed to nes.dlp@nhs.scot you can also follow @nes_dlp on Twitter.
