The Skills Development Network (SDN) is pleased to invite you to join for an informal information and Q&A drop‑in session designed to support organisations interested in, or already progressing through, the Towards Excellence in Digital Standards Accreditation Programme.

Whether you're curious or already committed, we’d love to see you there!

About the Scheme

Towards Excellence in Digital Standards is an accreditation scheme based on a straightforward set of Level 1, 2 and 3 standards promoting the personal and professional development of digital, data and technology staff, ensuring clinical engagement with digital systems, encouraging an effective and sustainable workforce pipeline and supporting digital leaders from team leader to Board level.  

Whether you're just beginning to explore what the programme involves, or you've already started your accreditation journey and want to discuss next steps, these sessions will provide practical insight and real world experience.
During the session, you will have the chance to:

• Find out how the scheme works and how you can get started with your organisational accreditation journey
• Learn how organisations have benefitted from gaining accreditation
• Familiarise yourself with the five accreditation standards and find out how to collect evidence
• Learn about the assessment process
• Plan your assessment days and learn what they involve
• Ask questions, share experiences, and learn from peers across the region

These short drop ins are intentionally relaxed and open- designed to help you build confidence, understand what the accreditation journey really looks like, and connect with others on the same journey.
