SUMMARY:How to build public trust in Secure Data Environments
DESCRIPTION:Join the LIDA Health Committee for an insightful debate on Secure Data Environments (SDEs). These platforms allow researchers from both public and commercial sectors to securely access and analyze patient data. The recently released Sudlow Review highlights the importance of SDEs and recommends developing a UK-wide framework for their standards and accreditation\, emphasizing the need to maintain public trust. \nBut what is ‘public trust’ and how can the conditions for its flourishing be embedded into policies and technical standards? Is the goal of cultivating ‘public trust’ in a secure and audited platform appropriate\, or should we focus on engineering out the need for trust through robust technical controls?  Just who/what are we trusting\, and what are we trusting them to do?  Join us for an engaging discussion with experts from diverse fields\, including applied ethics\, patient advocacy\, and health technology.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Driving Health Literacy in the Real World 
DESCRIPTION:Driving health literacy in the real world. \nHow MediGuides can support improved healthcare understanding and patient engagement. \nClear communication is critical to safe\, effective healthcare yet health literacy remains one of the biggest barriers to patient understanding\, engagement\, and system efficiency. Poor communication comes at a high cost. Improving patient understanding isn’t just a clinical priority\, it’s an operational one. \nIn this webinar\, hosted in partnership with the NIHR\, we’ll explore how MediGuides\, a patient education tool\, is supporting clinicians to deliver clear\, consistent\, and efficient communication. Using graphically-led\, plain-language guides tailored to each patient\, MediGuides is helping to reduce confusion\, improve engagement\, and reduce waste. \n  \nThe session will include opening and closing remarks from Vee Mapunde and a presentation from Chris Pymble\, CEO/Founder\, MediGuides. \n  \nPlease use the link for the registration: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1337975263029?aff=oddtdtcreator
