The University of Manchester's Christabel Pankhurst Institute, supported by ARC-GM, is running a programme of work around digital health inequities. As part of this, we are hosting a seminar series about the topic with speakers from different disciplines who have done exemplary research on understanding, identifying or addressing digital health inequities. You can access recordings of previous talks on our webpage.
Our next seminar is on 13th September , 1-2pm via Zoom (https://zoom.us/j/99204234429). Dr Pritesh Mistry, a Fellow in Digital Technologies from the King’s Fund will talk about ‘Supporting digital inclusion in healthcare’
Pritesh works in the policy team where he focuses on how digital tools and technologies can improve health and care. He is particularly passionate about using evidence-based digital technology as an enabler to improve quality of care and outcomes while critically assessing buzzwords and technology as a silver bullet. Pritesh combines his understanding of technology with the broader picture of the essential ingredients needed for digital change to have an impact. This encompasses culture, unmet need, infrastructure, change management and knowledge all to improve quality, inequalities and outcomes.
Digital technologies can improve health and care services for staff and patients, but there is no guarantee that everyone will be able to take advantage of these improvements. This presentation will give a summary of the findings from The Kings Fund report on digital exclusion including the experience and expectations of the public alongside the work being undertaken in the NHS.
