As Europe advances its digital transformation, equipping health and care professionals with the right skills is more critical than ever. A recent workshop brought together partners from the BeWell and Care4Skills projects to co-create a strategic vision for digital upskilling and reskilling in the health and long-term care sectors.
The session focused on aligning efforts across both ecosystems to ensure that future workforce development is relevant, inclusive, and sustainable. Through interactive discussions, participants explored common needs, expectations, and best practices that can inform the development of a robust skills strategy.
Key areas of focus included:
-
Digital Competencies for the Healthcare Workforce: Moderated by the BeWell project, this segment examined the essential digital skills that enable collaboration between health and long-term care professionals.
-
Emerging Occupational Profiles: Participants discussed future scenarios and evolving roles in the health and care sectors.
-
Digital Literacy: Emphasis was placed on ensuring that all professionals, regardless of role or setting, have the digital foundation to thrive in a transforming system.
The outcomes of this workshop will feed into the ongoing work of both initiatives, helping shape a more resilient and digitally empowered care workforce across Europe.
