On July 7, Professor Elizabeth Macintyre, member of the BioMed Alliance Board of Directors, spoke at the Assemblée nationale in Paris at the occasion of a workshop co-organised by EIT Health and the Assemblée nationale, and focusing on digital health skills and tools. The workshop is part of the programme “Digital & Health for all: what action needs to be taken for tomorrow’s public health?” targeting French legislators and policymakers with the aim to explore how the health workforce can be equipped adequately for the rapid digitalization of health research and health care.

During the session, Professor Macintyre emphasised the importance of educating health care professionals (HCPs) on the digital and regulatory aspects of their work, especially as the science, the profession and the regulatory landscape are evolving rapidly.

A wrap-up session presenting the conclusions in French of all the thematic workshops of the programme will take place online on Tuesday 13 July from 14.00-17.30. The session is open to everybody and you can register on aiforhealth.fr
