Discover digital
The Discover Digital Guide introduces the idea of digital health and social care. It will enable you to develop an understanding of digital tools that could benefit your health and wellbeing or that of someone you support. It focuses on tools that are available to us on an everyday basis. It explains what these tools are and where to find them. It will give you a basic understanding of digital self management, digital services in the NHS, technology enabled care and how to stay safe when using a digital tool for your health and wellbeing.
