INTRODUCTION
The Topol Programme for Digital Fellowships in Healthcare is a flagship national programme for digital health aspirants in England. This programme is heavily over-subscribed with applicants, representing a cross section of healthcare professionals interested in a future digital health career. The aim this study was to identify motivations, priorities and experiences of these applicants.
METHOD
Systematic qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis of an entire cohort of anonymised applications to the 2021 Topol Programme for Digital Fellowships in Healthcare were performed.
RESULTS
Two-hundred and eighty applications were received from diverse healthcare professional roles. There were limited applications from mental health or social care sectors. Most applicants reported good organisational support from their employers, but limited interaction with senior digital leaders within their organisations. Relatively limited consideration of health inequalities or engagement with industry was noted. Women were statistically significantly more likely to consider health inequality/inequity implications in their applications.
DISCUSSION
The analysis offers an insight into motivations, priorities and experiences of the next generation of digital health leaders. There is a need to link aspirants with local digital leaders and to support broader consideration of health inequalities. Supporting such needs and gaps is expected to further help meet recommendations proposed in and contribute to optimising the skills of the future digital health workforce.
引言
医疗保健数字奖学金托波尔计划是英格兰一项面向数字健康有志者的旗舰国家计划。该计划的申请者严重超额，他们代表了对未来数字健康职业感兴趣的各类医疗保健专业人员。本研究的目的是确定这些申请者的动机、优先事项和经历。
方法
对2021年医疗保健数字奖学金托波尔计划的整个匿名申请队列进行了系统的定性和半定量分析。
结果
收到了来自不同医疗保健专业岗位的280份申请。心理健康或社会护理部门的申请有限。大多数申请者表示得到了雇主良好的组织支持，但与组织内高级数字领导者的互动有限。对健康不平等问题的考虑相对有限，与行业的互动也较少。从统计学角度来看，女性在申请中更有可能考虑健康不平等/不公平问题。
讨论
该分析深入了解了下一代数字健康领导者的动机、优先事项和经历。有必要将有志者与当地数字领导者联系起来，并支持对健康不平等问题进行更广泛的考虑。满足这些需求和弥补这些差距有望进一步有助于落实[相关文件]中提出的建议，并有助于优化未来数字健康劳动力的技能。
