Profession and Service Specific Digital Capabilities Frameworks
Development of the profession and service specific learning requires the use of established frameworks, tools and resources to revise and shape education and training, professional standards, accreditation and career development.
The following Frameworks have been created:
Psychological Practitioners Digital Competence Framework
The aim of these competences is to support the development of digital practice skills for all applied psychologists and psychological practitioners. They may be used by practitioners and trainers to monitor competences and for curriculum design and the definition of learning outcomes in relation to digital practice. As these competences have broad application organisations will need to consider the fit to their particular clinical setting.

Digital competency framework for Allied Health Professionals (AHPs)
This framework, developed by Topol Digital Fellow alumnus Chris Tack, has been developed to support the enhancement of digital competence for all AHPs, from band 3 to band 9. It is intended to be a developmental and supportive tool that can enable all AHP staff to meet their digital potential. The framework will be developed into an interactive profession specific self-assessment tool in the future.

Supporting Digital Literacy in the Pharmacy Workforce
This document has been developed to relate the Health Education England Digital Capability Framework to the pharmacy workforce across different levels. This will then signpost individuals to a range of training programmes to help improve their knowledge, skills and competencies that should support their ability to adopt and adapt to the changes in practice the digital transformation will enable.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Healthcare Technologies Capability framework
A clear need for our healthcare workforce is to continually adapt to meet the needs of the society it serves. Health Education England (HEE) commissioned the University of Manchester to perform a learning needs analysis and develop a framework outlining the skills and capabilities to ensure our health and care professionals can work in a digitally enhanced environment.
