Digital health and exclusion advice hub articles

 

To help supplement our Digital Support Service, our advice hub has been updated with various articles on digital health and exclusion. 
 
The new advice hub articles provide an introduction to digital exclusion, information on how to support someone who is digitally excluded, how healthcare tools and services are becoming more digitised, and more.
