Towards Excellence in Digital Standards – Workforce Accreditation Scheme

Towards Excellence in Digital Standards (TEDS) is an accreditation scheme based on a straightforward set of Level 1, 2 and 3 standards promoting the personal and professional development of digital staff.

TEDS is ensuring clinical engagement with digital systems, encouraging an effective and sustainable workforce pipeline, and supporting digital leaders from team leader to Board level.

Benefits of the scheme

• Raises the importance of workforce development for the digital function
• Ensures good communication practices are in place across the service
• Creates a developmental culture underpinned by a competence-based approach
• Promotes an environment of professionalism, initiative, enterprise, and innovation
• Excellent tool for sharing good practice across all organisations
• Offers public acknowledgement that the culture in the function/service is a positive one of empowerment, development, and engagement
