The work is guided by the overarching Digital Health and Care Strategy.
The programme focuses on citizen facing digital solutions where “outcomes for individuals in home or community settings are improved through the application of technology as an integral part of quality, cost effective care and support to look after more people at home”.
It reports to the cross sector Digital Citizen Delivery Board as part of Digital Health and Care governance that oversees the programme.
Partnership and collaboration will continue to be our key approach, in how we work, maximising the capacity and capabilities across health and care partners, at national and local levels as well as seeking out collaborations and knowledge exchange opportunities with other parts of the UK, Europe and further afield.
