Good Thinking workshops: the impact of digital inclusion on community health outcomes

15th October 2021

This autumn, London’s digital wellbeing service, Good Thinking, is running a series of online workshops to explore the impact of digital exclusion on health inequalities and the risks of connecting vulnerable or reluctant individuals to the digital world.

Leading experts in online harm, digital inequalities, digital health and the digital transformation of health services will present insights into what is needed for safe and successful digital inclusion. Insights will be gathered from all the workshops to inform a model of good practice for digital inclusion in health, and the development of a proposed Digital Inequalities Impact Assessment to promote good practice.

The workshops will be facilitated by Dr Richard Graham, Consultant Psychiatrist, Clinical Director for Good Thinking and Dr Victoria Betton, PeopleDotCom.
