Abstract
This article describes digital skills training (DST)
for staff and later, residents, as part of a programme
of culture change in a large care home with nursing
in Glasgow. It presents the successes and challenges
arising from DST from the perspectives of the
two volunteer information technology (IT) champions
(Thomas Sloan and John Thomson), who were
also staff members. Using their written reports,
questionnaires and subsequent conversations, the IT
champions recall the challenges and gains for staff
and residents as a result of their initial training.
This is supplemented by a follow-up on IT activities in
the 18 months after the introduction period.
