Digital Citizen Panel

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. 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 online, 10.30am 1st Wednesday of the month and open to anyone with an interest in our work. The DCP also meets in person at various local level, supported by the Digital Network Officer (DNO). 

The DCP is a growing voice of people and organisations across Scotland. Members share insights on their needs, rights and preferences in relation to accessing digital health and care services. They influence change, offer a supportive and knowledgeable environment.  The DCP is involved in a diverse programme of engagement activity supported by the DNO. This includes national and local consultations; learning/skills development; conferences/events and; social/cultural engagements.  

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.
