We now have a live survey for the health & disability workforce in NZ to tell us about their digital and data skills and experience (thanks to @karenday and @steveearnshaw for your help and work).
This is open to all please give us your time and share with others.
This is great and will be extremely valuable for the crew who is looking at making a NZ Digital Academy happen; I encourage everyone to do it.
Also, it is very well written and the software quite pleasant to use. Bravo @jon_herries, @KarenDay, and @searnshaw!!!
This is good! Great work for making this happen. I’ll definitely be spreading this.
When does this have to be done by?
20 December it will close.
Thanks Jon, I’ll get that posted on our intranet.
Hey Jon if it’s not too late you may want to reconsider the ‘does your JD include Informatics ’ as we know most of CiLN don’t have a formal role. Maybe saying do you have a formal or informal role in Informatics would be more helpful? Did you test this on some digitally naive bodies? I do suspect that if you are using this survey for whole of workforce this survey will lean towards those already involved in digital… you made need a more basic one to truely see where the need is.
All completed and I have sent it out to my DHB colleagues too. Will be very interesting to see the results and what we can do with them. I do agree with Ruth though as well. We are likely to need a more basic survey to truly get a picture of the whole workforce as many will choose not to complete it as they don’t feel their role/JD involves digital
Agree on all points - speed won out and now it is live so not really changeable (continuity of data) - we do need to collect some feedback for next time feel free to add more suggestions (expecting there will be a next time?)

Hi Karen - is supposed to be broader than data or digital roles (official or unofficial) - we want to understand the literacy of the entire workforce (digital and data affects everyone).
Well done all, I have forward this on to our Digital Champions Network and others.
Another suggestion for next time was add a prize - hat tip to @michael.hosking
A QR code if you want to share this on paper
Next time we survey our digital capabilities? Let’s do it this time!
To add a prize, I would need to check our policy on that and get legal to review/write some terms and conditions, I would need to take down the survey, change it (breaking the purposeful anonymity by having people add some contact details) and that would then break the link - which I have already sent out. This will probably confuse those people who have already received it so I would need to do some follow up comms.
I don’t have the time for all that and I am pretty sure the comms people would kill me - so it is now on my list for next time.

You’ve done a great job with this as is, @jon_herries. It is extremely difficult to change a survey once it is wild! The focus of us all needs to be in sharing it far and wide.
I guess you will just need to be cautious with your interpretation this time around…
Hi team,
Another resource for you to consider if you haven’t already come across this from NHS HEE Digital Workforce Professionalism Workstream. The report below outlines the results from an online consultation to reach the Social Care audience. 1,061 individuals participated. The results demonstrated remarkable consensus to implement a small number of broad interventions aimed at everyone rather than a large number of focussed interventions aimed at specific audiences with specific needs.

This will also be applicable to the CiLN position statement and digital academy ideas.
Yes depending on our ability to break out of the “people like you like things like this bubble…”
So we are at 996 responses - please alert people to the survey closing next Friday - and get them to complete
