The Digital Health, Housing and Care Learning Network is supported by the Scottish Government Digital Health and Care Directorate.
Our team are delivering a number of knowledge exchange sessions during the Summer. The sessions provide opportunities for staff, with an interest in how digital tools can be used to support service delivery in health, home, and care settings, to exchange learning and experience.
On Monday 13th June 2022 we hosted a session which included three pre-recorded Snapshots, followed by a discussion with the contributors.
The recording is available to view:
For this group of snapshots, we asked the contributors to share lessons about different aspects of delivering digitally enabled services - from design stages right through to gathering and using the feedback from the people who use the services.
