Attending the Digital Health Summer School was an investment in knowledge, skills, and a sense of purpose. It broadened my perspective, equipped me with practical know-how, connected me with a network of passionate individuals, and provided a platform for AHPs to share their inspiring digital journeys.

Angela Mooney, Chief Allied Health Professions Information Officer, Southern Health and Social Care Trust

The whole event allowed me to broaden my knowledge and network with others within the world of digital health. It was great to hear from the speakers across the two days about all the work going on to put digital at the forefront of healthcare! I would highly recommend the event for anyone in or wanting to move into the digital future!
