Digital Health Seminar Series by GM.Digital
Episode notes
What does it mean to create a community of practice in digital health?
After working in a lab for years in isolation, Ralph MacKinnon felt that he needed to, in his words, "find his tribe". After joining the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital as paediatrics major trauma service lead, he's created his own tribe through Out-There HealthTech, a digital platform that supports communities of practice in digital healthcare.
In this episode, Ralph discusses the importance of communities of practice, with a focus on the NHS's Electronic Patient Record (EPR) software, used by many UK hospital trusts as a way to digitise records and connect care.
