SUMMARY:Digital Literacy as a Determinant of Health
DESCRIPTION:Digital literacy is increasingly a gateway to health\, wellbeing and opportunity. Accessing GP services\, managing long-term conditions\, applying for benefits\, finding housing support\, or engaging in education now relies on digital confidence as much as clinical provision. \n \nBuilding on widely recognised determinants of health\, such as income\, housing\, education and social networks\, digital inclusion is emerging as a critical determinant shaping how people experience health and care across West Yorkshire. \n \nThis event brings together community leaders\, healthcare professionals\, innovators\, and people with lived experience to explore how local communities are responding and what collective action looks like next. Participants will share insights\, discuss practical solutions\, and contribute to a West Yorkshire Digital Literacy Insight Resource that captures learning from across the region. \n \nWhat to expect \n– Interactive sessions: conversation tables\, QR prompts\, post-it notes and discussion cards so everyone can join in \n– Lightning talks: hear real stories from local innovators\, health educators and people driving change in the community \n– Networking: connect with people from health\, tech\, community organisations and local government \n– Action focus: help identify priorities that will shape the West Yorkshire resource and future One HealthTech activity \n \nWhether you work in health or tech\, or simply care about making digital health fairer\, you’re very welcome. Let’s come together\, share ideas and build something better. Arrive at 17:30 for refreshments\, with the event starting at 18:00.
