title = "Wales Institute of Digital Information (WIDI): A Model of Collaborative Health Education, CPD, Research and Innovation",
abstract = "The Wales Institute of Digital Information has developed a flexible model of education, CPD, research and innovation for the Welsh health and care sectors, in the digital arena. The co-produced model had produced significant benefits for both health employers and the Universities involved in the partnership. The model is continuing to develop collaborative educational provision from level 2 to level 8 and is concentrating on expanding its digital research and innovation offering to the health and care sector in a similar co-developed collaborative way.

note = "Funding Information: The co-production model developed for the academic programme provision was also adopted in the research approach with health and care partners. Identified areas of research were very much applied and related to the direct needs of the health body initiating the project with the Universities adapting to those needs rather than to the University research agenda. The significant links that WIDI developed with the health and care sector has led to a number of completed, active and developing research projects. Via funding from Welsh Government WIDI have employed six Research Assistants, twelve fractional academics and two professors to work on health and care research projects. The projects that fall into these categories are shown in Table 2: Publisher Copyright: {\textcopyright} 2022 European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI) and IOS Press.; 2022 European Federation for Medical Informatics Special Topic Conference: Digital Professionalism in Health and Care: Developing the Workforce, Building the Future, STC 2022 ; Conference date: 07-09-2022 Through 08-09-2022",
