About
A web resource to empower a technical person starting a new job in healthcare, with knowledge of the NHS, its systems and its people.
The problem, a user story: “Dewi has recently graduated his computer science degree and is starting a new job working as an NHS data scientist.
He attended a meeting where he struggled to understand what on earth people were talking about, and Googling for the answers just left him with more questions. He is feeling a little daunted at the prospect of understanding the complex beast that is healthcare. We aim to provide an engaging, interactive, structured tool to help Dewi learn, focusing on what is important for his new role.”
Our solution: Our first step was to brainstorm, this lead to us deciding on a few aims:
- To provide a structure for the learning journey, guided by domain experts
- To allow adaptability in learning pathways for different roles or organisations
- To provide content, either created ourselves or signposted to external resources
- To be accurate, credible, evergreen, open and extendable
- To be engaging, enthusiastic and captivating
Next, we crystalised some of our discussions 5 key themes we believe encapsulate what Dewi needs to learn, these are:
- How healthcare works
- Humans in healthcare
- Clinical healthcare
- Money in healthcare
- Being part of a healthcare system
We used generative AI with Flask to allow us to generate proof of concept working demo, allowing the majority of our team to focus on the web app to meet our aims.
