Overview:

Join us for this webinar to discuss whether digital innovation can help reduce health inequalities or if it risks compounding them further. As part of NHS Providers' ongoing Digital Boards and Health Inequalities programmes, this event is designed to generate critical insights and discussion about how NHS trusts can apply an equity lens to their digital transformation. With examples from trusts and insights from recent research, this webinar will provide practical tools and approaches that can be shared across the sector. 

This virtual event will take place on Monday 10th March, from 11:00-12:00.

Content:

This event is an opportunity for trust leaders to learn directly from research leaders and peers about the interplay between digital transformation and health inequalities. Hear how trusts are navigating the challenges of digital innovation, share reflections on the impact of digital on health access, and explore actionable approaches to embed equity into your digital transformation journey. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of both the risks and benefits of digital in addressing health inequalities and practical strategies for implementation.
