PCRS Webinar: Exploring the Ethics and Inequalities of Digital Technology

Digital technology offers all sorts of exciting opportunities and has the potential to bring about many benefits to healthcare. However, its success relies on patients being able to access technology, feeling comfortable using it, and clinicians also having appropriate access and training. This is not the case across the board and there is a real issue with digital exclusion. We cannot assume that one size fits all and there are many instances where digital technology can get in the way of providing good access to care.

This webinar, featuring speakers Dr Llinos Jones, Dr Ian Sinha and patient representative Amanda Roberts will explore the ethics and inequalities of digital technology. Facilitated by Carol Stonham, Chair of PCRS the group will reflect on the pitfalls of group consultations/virtual reviews, and what we as clinicians can do to mitigate inequalities, and ensure technology is driven in the right way so that patients are benefited not short-changed by technological innovation. This webinar is for those that want to improve patient experience of technology, who are looking for solutions to digital exclusion, and a quick guide to avoiding common mistakes and pitfalls that widen health the inequalities gap.

Please join us for this interactive webinar featuring Q & A at the end of the session.
