Abstract

Bexley Training Hub commissioned Greenwich University Enterprises Limited (GUE Ltd.) to evaluate the Digital Support Technician Apprenticeship (DST) Scheme. The evaluation commenced in August 2020 and consists of primary care placements and training provided by Gingernut Training. Day to day supervision is provided by the Bexley Training Hub (BTH).

Interim conclusion:
The Digital Apprenticeship scheme has the potential to contribute significantly to the delivery of primary care is Bexley. However, the one gap in the data is how the scheme is experienced in primary care. The apprentices themselves largely report a positive experience and are working closely with the training co-ordinator and the BTH project co-ordinator to ensure they meet the required national standards and have a positive learning experience. It is clear there are practices where there is a high level of understanding and experience of the DST scheme but equally there are other practices who we suspect have minimal links. Our main recommendation is to think of how best to raise greater awareness of the DST scheme across primary care services in Bexley.
