Remote Support in Real Life - A Shared Learning Session.

What is it like providing real life support to people remotely?

Using the lessons from to plan our new normal. This event aims is to bring together the community, health & social care, and the university to discuss and learn from the common experience we have had, having to change the way we deliver support to people during lockdown. Many community groups, health & social care and university services have been delivering some sort of support to people in a remote way - phone calls, emails, WhatsApp, Facebook groups, Zoom/Teams sessions, live chat functions and a variety of other methods.

• Have you been able to continue providing support during lockdown?

• Have you had to stop your services, but are now looking to re-start?

• Do you have an experience to share?

• Would you like to hear hints and tips from others?

The aim is to learn from each other about the things that have really worked in lockdown and what we may all actually want to continue to do, even if meeting up becomes more possible.
