NHS Wales commissions online cyber training
NHS Wales has procured a round of cyber awareness training for 50,000 employees including hospital staff, GPs, pharmacists and contractors. It will make use of the Dojo e-learning package, developed by public sector bodies and film-makers Matobo and brought together by public sector funding platform CC2i.
It is the first national NHS organisation to roll out dual language cyber awareness training and e-learning at such a scale. The material will be loaded onto its national training platforms, Electronic Staff Record Learning Management System and the Learning@Wales Moodle platform.
