Project Description

Digital innovation lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic

Communities have been innovating during COVID-19 to ensure continued access to support.

GPs in Kingston Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and Wharfedale, Airedale and Craven CCG have used YouTube style videos to help encourage self care and reinforce the message that self care is not ‘no care’ during the pandemic.

Likewise, Buckinghamshire CCG has been supporting vulnerable patients to self care by running and recording interactive healthy lifestyle sessions via Zoom.
