Clinical staff from across all NHS Lanarkshire services are being invited to a question and answer session to learn about NHS Lanarkshire eHealth’s project to develop a new five-year digital strategy.
The strategy will be developed in close collaboration with clinical representatives to anticipate the support that will be required for future digital services, support, systems and technologies.
Ian Patterson, NHS Lanarkshire’s digital strategy project manager, said: “NHS Lanarkshire is preparing for the next five years to consider how online technologies can improve its health and social care services.
“Following the Covid-19 pandemic, we all have a new frame of reference for digital. Some have found the fast introduction of new technology challenging, despite it being necessary to maintain services during lock-down.
“The digital strategy will look across a wide range of benefits, from patient-facing solutions to better use of data to inform clinical decision making and operational effectiveness. This is an opportunity to consider the challenges associated with transformative change and the untapped possibilities of digital innovation.
“We are keen to hear staff’s views and would welcome their feedback by completing a short survey so that we can plan and prepare online services that will benefit the people of Lanarkshire.”
Two online drop-in sessions will be held to outline what will be achieved. The sessions, which will be hosted by Ian Patterson, will be held as follows:
Session One

Session Two
