Explore modules designed to help learners develop comprehensive digital knowledge and skills in adult social care, enhancing service delivery and care quality.
Our eLearning modules are free of charge and offer the opportunity to receive a completion certificate at the end of each module (or a single certificate for all seven modules if they are all completed).
Each module supports adult social care staff to develop their knowledge and confidence in using digital technology, Skills for Care was commissioned by the NHS Transformation Directorate to develop a suite of free-to-access ‘bitesize’ digital skills eLearning modules, in line with the Digital Skills Framework.
Module content
The eLearning modules were shaped and co-developed with people within adult social care, including care providers, local authorities, people drawing on care and support and subject matter experts.
The modules are designed to support people working in adult social care to gain knowledge and understanding on how digital, data and technology is used in the sector.
Each module has a set of three learning chapters and objectives. They may each take longer to complete if wider learning materials and resources are accessed within each module.
The seven modules
- using technology to support person-centred care
- technical skills in using technology
- communicating through technology
- using and managing data
- being safe and secure online
- ethical use of technology
- digital learning, development and wellbeing.
