Digital transformation of the healthcare workforce is a priority if we are to leverage the potential of digital technologies, artificial intelligence in clinical decision support and the potential of data captured within electronic health records. Educational programmes need to be diverse and support the digital novices through to the champions whom will be responsible for procuring and implementing digital solutions. In order to professionalise the workforce in this area, digital competencies need to be built into training from early on and be underpinned by frameworks that help to guide regulators and professional bodies and support educational providers to deliver them. Here we describe Manchester's involvement in the development of digital competency frameworks and our digital transformation education programmes that we have created, including a Massive Online Open Course and a professional development course for England's Topol Digital Fellows.
