Europe is increasingly focusing on what needs to be done to encourage the Union to “think and act big”. This session explored what lies ahead in terms of international action, organisational challenges, and growth in digital skills.
This session covered what can be done internationally, Europe-wide, nationally, and regionally, to deal with the current workforce crisis. It drew on strategies, what countries/regions can learn from each other, and how to expand digital skills in the health and care fields. It was supported by, the work of BeWell, a project on upskilling and reskilling, which aims to help to shape the European health and care workforce of tomorrow.
Cris Scotter of the WHO European Region, was the session moderator.
