Digital Pioneer Fellowship project summary: The project will aim to increase and improve the usage of video for the delivery of psychological therapy sessions. This will support remote working in the COVID-19 pandemic and provide an alternative method of delivery for therapy sessions for patients which can be more accessible improving both engagement and outcomes. Data will be collected on the usage and clinical outcomes, in addition to patient and clinician feedback, to support adoption, effectiveness, sustainability and scalability. There will be a focus on engaging with clinicians and patients to improve digital literacy and confidence, and encourage a digital culture shift.
Estimated number of patients / staff impacted by the project: The project will transform services in Camden and Islington who cover a population of over 500,000 patients. The learning can then hopefully be scaled across London, and across IAPT services nationally.
Goal(s) for the programme: To learn more about how to drive successful digital transformation and inspire others to be excited about digital mental health innovation.
To meet and network with digital leaders and experts from across the NHS
