During the meeting, as part of the discussion we will seek your feedback on seven digital skills e-learning modules that are being developed for the sector.  By attending, you will act as a sounding board for the Department of Health and Social Care by offering feedback and advice on the Government’s plans to support and reform adult social care. You will also help shape the development of digital skills that care professionals should be working towards, to support digitising the sector.
