As part of the Year 2 Community Mental Health Transformation Programme, we are focusing on a different theme in each month's podcast. July's podcast looks at Digital Transformation and reflects on the collaborative North Staffordshire, South Staffordshire and system work that has taken place so far and will be delivered in the Programme.
In this podcast, recorded in the record heat of July, Dave Hewitt, Chief Information Officer at North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust and Martyn Perry, Associate Director for IM&T Transformation at Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, discuss the remarkable advances made in recent years in digital health and digital approaches, as well as the new opportunities opening up for Digital Community Mental Health Transformation with the creation of Integrated Care Systems and Integrated Care Partnerships.
