Review and Analysis of the Digital Health Sector and Skills for Scotland

Rimpiläinen, Sanna and Morrison, Ciarán and Rooney, Laura

The research report explores the skills issues in Scotland's digital health sector in 2017-18, which is rapidly growing and demanding skilled personnel. There's a notable shortage of professionals proficient in both ICT and health and care, and the existing education and training offerings are limited, mostly at post-graduate level. The research findings suggest bridging the gap between education and sector needs is crucial for Scotland to capitalize on the expanding digital health market, requiring a review of education provision, closer collaboration with industry, and raising awareness of the sector's importance.
