Exploring the Potential of Digital Technology to link AHPs and People in Remote, Rural Hubs

Let's Talk about Dementia | Never in the history of mankind did not talking about something scary make it disappear.



Living it Up Creatively




Exploring the Potential of Digital Technology to link AHPs and People in Remote, Rural Hubs

Since June 2014, a group made up of people living with disabilities and health problems, carers and Allied Health Professionals (AHP’s) have been actively learning about the benefits of digital inclusion. In August, we established a steering group to drive forward a Living it Up Creatively digital project that links Helmsdale, a remote rural community in East Sutherland, to New Craigs, the main Mental Health Hospital supporting the Highlands from Inverness.













How will we use digital technology to connect professionals and people in the future?
