Digital Inclusion Alliance Wales Network Meeting – 10am September 20th
Join our digital inclusion community for our discussion on digital inclusion and health and care services in Wales. Digital - access, skills and confidence - is now being recognised as a social determinant of health and if implemented thoughtfully, digital approaches can help close the health inequality gap. Without addressing digital inclusion, they risk exacerbating the widening difference in health outcomes for our communities. We want to work together to ensure that no one gets left behind as new digital tools are developed across our health and social care services.

DIPRC 2022 – September 20th
Issues of digital exclusion and inequalities are far from resolved in our societies and, because of the pandemic, may have become more pronounced. These issues require research, policy and practical interventions that can address these inequalities. These are at the heart of this fourth edition of the Digital Inclusion, Policy and Research Conference (DIPRC) 2022. As part of this conference, we invite scholars and practitioners to present their latest work on these topics.
