Dr Tara French is Digital Inclusion and Design Lead within Digital Health and Care, Scottish Government. Tara is passionate about genuine co-design and human rights based approaches to designing social care and health in Scotland. She has worked in academia, policy and practice (in both Social Care and the NHS). Her work has led to the creation of the Care Technologist role in Social Care, the co-production of human rights principles for digital health and care, and has contributed to driving forward the value of person-owned data and social care data in service design.
Our Sharing, Influencing and Living in a Digital Scotland event is now at capacity. If you would like to join the waitlist, please contact dhcscot@alliance-scotland.org.uk
