Digital Citizen Panel

Ensuring that the seldom heard voices of lived experience are utilised to shape and inform the development and delivery of Digital Health.
The Digital Citizen Panel (DCP) was created in partnership with the Scottish Government in 2021. It aims to empower citizens to better manage their health and wellbeing with digital options. The DCP is involved in a diverse programme of engagement activity supported by the Digital Network Officer (DNO). This includes national and local consultations; learning/skills development; conferences/events; and social/cultural engagements. Members share, learn and influence policy/service design with regular opportunities to meet and maintain progress in our activities.
Our Conversation Café – Bring a Buddy is hosted online, on the first Wednesday of every month, and is open to anyone with an interest in our work. The DCP also meets in person at various local levels, supported by the DNO.
The ALLIANCE Digital Citizen Panel plans to:
• Strengthen the voice of people and organisations across Scotland on their rights and preferences on using digital means to better manage their housing, health and social care needs
• Be part of an inclusive and diverse programme of engagement and communication activity, ensuring people are supported to participate in activities as accessibly as possible
• Share, learn and influence – contributing support to the Digital Health and Social Care Board’s aim of ‘empowering citizens’.
Why not join our free network – a small but growing community of people bringing interest and curiosity to the digital health and social care landscape.
