How do we ensure that clinicians, researchers, nurses, legal experts, and data engineers have the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to participate in federated health data research? Today, the INDICATE Training and Education Workgroup met at ESICM in Brussels to discuss one of the most important ingredients for successful federated data research: people.
What did we focus on in Brussels?
- Define tailored learning pathways for different stakeholder groups
- Develop educational onboarding journeys for both data providers and data users
- Identify the skills, competencies, and support structures needed to enable effective participation in federated health data research
Some key takeaways?
- Institutional readiness is just as important as individual readiness
- Clinicians, nurses, researchers, legal experts, and data engineers all have a role to play
- Education should be practical, interactive, and aligned with the stage of onboarding and implementation
- Based on the outcomes of today’s discussions, we will further develop targeted onboarding courses, hands-on workshops, and role-specific learning opportunities.
A recurring theme throughout the meeting was simple: we are here to learn from each other. Thank you to all members of the Training and Education Workgroup for the valuable discussions, insights, and ideas. We look forward to translating these into practical educational pathways that will help make federated health data research a reality across Europe.
