No One Left Behind – Improving digital health and care inclusion
Event Information
About this event
Digital technology is changing the way health and care services are delivered, and the response to the COVID-19 pandemic radically accelerated the spread of digital solutions such as remote monitoring and online appointments.
Widening inequalities is a widely cited risk of delivering more care digitally. A significant proportion of people are currently digitally excluded, meaning they are unable to engage in digital care. Furthermore, people who are digitally excluded are more likely to be socially disadvantaged and already experience health inequality.
The event series gives an opportunity to interact with local NHS and Social Care leaders and also the third sector. They will explore health and care system challenges and share their knowledge and experience whilst sharing solutions to some of the best practice in digital healthcare, This online event will promote engagement and collaboration with the NHS, health and social care, private sector, voluntary organisations and the wider community.
The event will be of interest to;
- SMEs across the North East and North Cumbria
- Cluster Networks
- NHS Innovation leads
- Health and Social Care stakeholders

Organiser of No One Left Behind – Improving digital health and care inclusion
The Academic Health Science Network for the North East and North Cumbria (AHSN NENC) is dedicated to improving healthcare and supporting wealth creation through partnership working and promotion of innovation across the NHS, Academia and Industry.
With a remit to provide system-wide integration, we facilitate interactions with multiple partner organisations across the region. Principally we work with the NHS Trusts, CCGs and Universities which form our core membership, and we collaborate closely with many other stakeholder groups. We support the inclusive, collegiate approaches that are needed to address shared problems at a system level.
Wealth Creation and Health Improvement have a common requirement for innovation. The AHSN NENC supports all aspects of innovation across healthcare from creating a culture that supports the innovation through to the dissemination and adoption of effective practice and proven technologies.
We have therefore achieved the regional reach and the local buy-in that is necessary to deliver cross-organisational programmes to improve health and create wealth in the region.
