We are looking for volunteers to assist in delivering this Programme, supporting those who are digitally excluded to get online and enhance their digital skills. DHSS particularly focuses on helping people use health apps, with the goal of enabling easier and more convenient access to services at GP surgeries, without the need for phone calls or visits to the practice, and empowering individuals to manage their health conditions more independently.

As a Digital Champion volunteer, you will work with people in your community to help them develop their digital skills, showing them how to use online services to improve their day-to-day activities and overall health and wellbeing. Your responsibilities may include:

• Assisting individuals in setting up an email address
• Teaching them how to use video call apps
• Guiding them through online grocery shopping
• Helping them order repeat prescriptions or book appointments via apps, and much more!

You may work with clients in a community venue, at a GP surgery, or in their own homes, depending on their needs and your preferences.

For more information on the apps and services available, please refer to our Patient User Guide and Apps User Guide.
