Tuesday 21st October 2025
About
As digital technology continues to rapidly evolve, what does this mean for data and analytics staff? What are the core analytical skills people need, irrespective of the environment in which they work? How do we keep aware of these emerging new roles and make sure we are developing skills for them? Can we set industry standard benchmarks for excellence in analytics at all levels?
Sarah and Andy will discuss their work on the National Competency Framework for data professionals in health and social care, the NHS Data Academy and explore opportunities to collaborate and align to create diverse career pathways beyond our organisational boundaries.
Is it pie in the sky thinking, or are we stronger when we work together? Come along and be part of the discussion.
