Job Description - lnkd.in/eyRHVd5T
The need for support and training for NHS front-line staff was obvious 2 years ago when we set up @ukdhc.bsky.social we are now delivering trainaing as promised for all NHS & Care staff through our teaching platform at ukdhc.info/course/ukdhc... and the accomanying three byte sized training packages
We, as patients, can help by reducing the demands on our GPs by managing our own health problems sensibly and only seek help when it is necessary. When we had stronger family units Granny, with lots of experience of dealing with minor ailments was the first port of call 😩. Alas, no longer.
@UKDHC has developed an on-line Assessment Tool to help evaluate their Digital Skills and a series of “Bite-sized on line training packages” aimed at improving their Digital Competency. See - ukdhc.info/course/ukdhc... It is all free of charge.

@erictopol.bsky.social mis and dis-information is challenging. It would be good to improve the peer review of our medical journals and address the problems created by predatory journals. How do you recommend we can do that?

I trained myself in Basic in 1983. It was easier than Fortran 4 that I taught myself in 1978 and Machine Code that I also used in 1983. These were the days!
