Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) has worked in partnership with NHS Transformation Directorate to develop the first NHS elearning programme on Robotic Process Automation (RPA).  

RPA is software that automates routine and mundane tasks. In recent years the NHS has increased its adoption of RPA to improve the efficiency and productivity of clinical and non-clinical admin processes.  

The new RPA elearning programme has been designed to support NHS health and social care organisations to develop, procure and implement this technology in-house and create a skilled workforce capable of overseeing RPA enabled processes.  

The programme is aimed at senior leaders and wider NHS users who want to build confidence in taking RPA forward in the workplace.  

This elearning programme is comprised of 5 modules, which build on each other. The first 2 modules, Introduction to Robotic Process Automation and Getting started with RPA, are available to health and care professionals with no prior knowledge of digital technologies. The latter modules build in complexity and are suited to learners with more specialist knowledge of RPA.
