Our learning
We share what we learn so you don’t have to start from scratch. Here you can access blogs, guides and publications produced by us and our partners on a variety of digital and health related subjects.
We also have an inclusive digital transformation workspace on the FutureNHS platform and offer bespoke learning programmes and events.
You can filter our learning by selecting one of the categories:
Tackling digital exclusion in maternity
New Project: North East and North Cumbria ICS Digital Inclusion Strategy
We have been commissioned by North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care System (ICS) to support them in developing a Strategy and Strategic Plan to tackle Digital Exclusion.
My Needs App Freelance Content Designer
Thrive by Design are working in partnership with West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership and Hive IT to co-design an app that will support different people to communicate their needs to different services and in different social situations. This includes but is not limited to supporting people who are neurodivergent and / or who may experience social and communication challenges. We expect a wide age range to use the app, including children and young people, their parents and caregivers, and adults.
Exploring the relationship between digital inclusivity and heath and care equality
Dr Bola Owolabi, Director of Health Inequalities at NHS England and Roz Davies, Associate Director of Thrive by Design, discuss the needs of seldom heard groups, reflect on key learning, progress and offer advice for teams working to support people through on digital innovations like technology-enabled remote monitoring.
Remote by Default 2: the “new normal”?
With NHS organisations transitioning back to ‘business as usual’ operating models, the overarching aim of this project is to inform high-quality, safe and equitable care in UK general practice in the context of policies which require phone, video or e-consultation by default.
Inclusive online video consultations: what you need to know
The use of online video consultations, if not supported in the right way, is at risk of widening the digital divide. Even where digital platforms are available, there will be people who are excluded, for example, those with low digital literacy, poor connection or unable to afford the cost of data for video calls. This briefing explores how to make remote video consultations inclusive.
Working to embed inclusion across the West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership
Our team feel lucky to be positioned within a health and care partnership where we work alongside colleagues who champion our mission and understand that to tackle health inequalities the system needs to put inclusion at the heart of transformation and co-design with seldom heard communities.
Striving for Inclusive Co-design across West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership
West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership are developing a set of Inclusive Co-design Principles and want you to have the chance to contribute to them.
