For Volunteer Centre Bexley
As Digital Health Champions we believe that healthcare should be accessible to everyone! But with new hurdles such as healthcare services moving online, not being confident with these new tools, can exclude some people from using these services.
So, through this new volunteer role, we can work directly with residents to help them learn how to use digital tools, such as the NHS app and take back control of their own healthcare!
This is digital healthcare volunteering, helping to empower others by teaching them the digital skills they need.
We will train you to become a Digital Health Champion, in a range of topics, so you don't need to be a tech genius to help in this role.
