Shape the future of NHS Digital, Data, and Technology (DDAT) professionalisation

PUBLIC, on behalf of NHS England, is conducting a discovery research project exploring what professionalisation looks like across Digital, Data, and Technology (DDAT) roles in healthcare, including the practical costs, benefits, and scenarios for individuals and the wider system.

We are currently working through real-world scenarios to explore:

• How professional pathways support staff at all stages, from entry-level practitioners to senior digital leaders
• What happens when talent moves between the NHS and other sectors
• The real costs, evidence requirements, and career benefits of emerging professional standards

Whether you are starting out in your DDAT career or leading a service, across providers, ICBs, or partner organisations, we want to hear your perspective.
