SUMMARY:First Virtual Equity Charter COP
DESCRIPTION:First Virtual Equity Charter COP date loading (4th March 12:30-13:30) \nEquity in digital health cannot be a side conversation. It has to be designed in. \nBecause digital is never neutral. \nOn 4 March\, we will be coming together for the Equity Charter Community of Practice. It is a space for honest dialogue\, shared learning\, and collective action to ensure equity genuinely shows up in our systems\, services and leadership. \nDigital tools can widen gaps or close them.\nThey can exclude quietly or empower intentionally.\nThey reflect the values of those who build and implement them. \nThis isn’t a webinar.\nIt’s not passive listening.\nIt’s a community. \nIf you work in digital\, data\, transformation\, clinical leadership\, policy\, or design \, this space is for you. \n📅 First session: 4 March | 12:30–13:30 | Virtual\n📅 3 June | 16:30–17:30\n📅 29 September | In person at HETT\n📅 25 November | 12:30–13:30 \nEquity is not an abstract principle. It is a daily practice. \nIf you would like to be part of this growing movement\, sign up here:
