Digital Health
Benefit from the latest technologies to excel as a PA.
What is digital health?
Digital tools and services help promote active and healthy ageing by encouraging independence, social participation, and ensuring healthcare access. For example, Near Me video consultations remove the stress and effort of travelling to physical appointments.
Near Me also provides information about waiting times and diagnoses can be made online via video call. This tool is helpful for PAs and other healthcare professionals and can make your lives easier.
Digital Health Workshops
At PANS, we carry out several digital health workshops to help you develop into your role as a PA. These include ways digital tools support employment, how they can support you in your role, the benefits of online health apps, and the basics of digital skills.
We also will have Technology Enabled Care (TEC) workshops available.
