Horizon Scanning Hub iPad App and Community launched

10/14/2013

At the 2013 CfWI’s Annual Conference, we have proudly launched the Horizon Scanning Hub iPad App and the Hub Community.

This is the first Horizon Scanning Hub iPad App in the world. The Hub is a unique source of future-thinking information about the healthcare, social care and public health workforce in the United Kingdom. It aims to inform better long-term decisions to improve workforce planning and people’s life. It gives users easy access to the ideas bank and projects area of the Hub offline and on-the-go. The App has been developed by the CfWI in partnership with the Manchester Institute of Innovation Research (MIoIR) at the University of Manchester and Futures Diamond. We are now working on adding further features to the App, including the ability to read articles and check out the latest news.

Over the next few months the CfWI Horizon Scanning team will be working on:

our Horizon 2035 research.
our continued work with the EU on the workforce planning Joint Action.
continuing to improve the Hub and app with feedback from users.

Futures Diamond has also supported the former Centre for Workforce Intelligence (CfWI) in the development of the first Horizon Scanning platform and iPad App in the world (back in 2011). The platform was publicly launched at CfWI's National Conference – Better workforce planning and improving people's lives – that took place in 2011 in two centres: London on 10 October and Leeds on 12 October. Over 300 delegates and guests gathered to discuss workforce planning around health and social care.
