Falkirk Health and Social Care Partnership are offering a series of engagement sessions to offer advice about using technology to improve health and enable independent living. Taking to local libraries in July and August, the sessions aim to demonstrate the range of technology, apps, and devices which people can use in their own homes to aid their daily lives and wellbeing.
The first drop-in sessions will be held on Tuesday 23 July in Larbert Library (10am-noon) and Denny Library (1:30pm – 3:30pm), and then 10am-2pm on Monday 29 July at Grangemouth Library and Thursday 1 August at Falkirk Library.
Local experts in using technology within health and social care will be on hand to demonstrate some of the most common solutions, and to talk about a wider range of tech easily available to suit different needs.
By using a quick and easy online assessment tool, support from Living Well Falkirk can help people find services, organisations, equipment, and apps which fit into their daily lives to improve wellbeing.
Falkirk’s new Digital Health and Care Delivery Plan
As well as an opportunity to learn more about using technology within daily lives, people can provide feedback to help inform future services by participating in the consultation to shape Falkirk’s new Digital Health and Care Delivery Plan.
The consultation will ask local people to share their views about using technology, digital resources, and online tools within Falkirk’s health and social care services. The delivery plan will set out how smart devices, apps, software, and better use of data can be used to make Falkirk’s services more accessible, efficient, and improve outcomes for people receiving support.
The consultation can be completed online at participateplus.falkirk.gov.uk or by picking up a print version of the survey within local libraries from 23 July.
