The BeWell Skills Strategy is designed to support the digital and green upskilling and reskilling of the health and care workforce across Europe. Its goal is to help professionals like you adapt to evolving healthcare systems, improve patient care, and enhance your own wellbeing and career development.

As the demands on healthcare grow, your role is more important than ever. This Strategy recognises your daily challenges and calls for greater support, training, and investment to help you thrive in a changing work environment. Here’s what the Strategy means for you:

• More access to relevant training that fits into your working life and builds your digital and green skills.
• Better preparation for new technologies in your daily practice, such as electronic health records, mobile health apps, AI, or telemedicine.
• Training on environmentally sustainable practices in health and care, including waste reduction, energy efficiency, and climate-conscious care delivery.
• Recognition and development of soft skills - like communication, problem-solving, and teamwork - especially when working in multidisciplinary teams.
• Improved working conditions and wellbeing, including support for your mental and physical health through better use of digital tools and more sustainable practices.
• A stronger focus on life-long learning and continuing professional development as part of your career, with more inclusive and flexible opportunities for growth - regardless of age, background, or job role.

The Strategy also highlights the importance of your voice in shaping training content and workplace changes. You’re not just expected to adapt to workplace changes - you are central to the co-creation of a better, more resilient health and care system.
