Healthcare is becoming more digital. To keep care safe, fair and centred on the patient, people need to find, understand and use digital health information and services.

New technology on its own doesn't improve how people engage with their care. Clear communication, accessibility and thoughtful implementation make the difference. This seminar shares practical, evidence-based and lived-experience insights to help make digital health care work for everyone.
