As part of the programme, participants are required to identify an area in their service or organisation which could be improved with a digital health and care solution. The solution should use technology to benefit people (e.g. citizens, patients, service users, staff). Participants are able to use the early stages of the programme to develop their project aim.
We would encourage you seek the experience of others through the past project pages or other work you are aware of and make reference to this if appropriate in your application. You may wish to focus on a small aspect of the suggested projects during your time on the DLP – other projects are also welcome, including projects which you are already involved with.
Example of previous projects can be found on the DLP Projects page.
We encourage projects which focus on the adoption or creation of a decision support tool. Watch the video below and download the document to find out more about the Right Decision Service.
Opportunities to Deliver a Decision Support Project within the NES DLP

Non-NHS applicants (e.g. third sector, social care, social work, housing, any other health or care setting) must be supported by a digital lead in their organisation or equivalent such as a strategic manager who will be able to support their project.
NHS Applicants – you must be supported by an NHS Board digital health and care lead / NMAHP dHealth lead / relevant head of department or director – a list of NMAHP digital leads is available below.
