South West London ICL Digital Pioneer Fellowship project summary:

The aim of the digital programme in K& R is to connect people and digital systems across Kingston and Richmond to achieve a “digital backbone” that improves health and care services for the local population.

There are three digital areas of focus for K&R for 24/25.

  1. Develop a digital solution focused on Integrated neighbourhoods
  2. Support the development of a risk stratification tool that promotes both Prevention and Health improvement agendas
  3. Promote an environment where digital opportunities play a key role in enhancing greater connectivity for staff and local communities (Connected Richmond)

The first area of focus that we aim to finalise in the next 4 months is Connected Richmond (which is a digital platform that will support the social prescribers` work). There is a similar platform in Kingston.

The aims of connected Richmond are to:

  • Identify the functions of Connected Kingston that should be replicated in Richmond
  • Determine the features that would enhance the usability of the digital platform
  • Assess which local information is currently difficult to find and would be beneficial to include *gather specific accessibility requirements that should be addressed on the platform
  • Explore effective strategies to promote the digital platform

Estimated number of patients / staff impacted by the project: Because we are starting in a phased way we can approximate 200 patients in 3-4 months.

Goal(s) for time on the South West London ICL Digital Pioneer Fellowship: Enhance cross-sector collaboration and leadership to create scalable, sustainable digital solutions that align with K&R priorities, driving measurable improvements in community health and well-being.
