The Digital Leadership Programme has been fundamental to this project. The aim is to provide a suite of digital services to inform and support the population of Ayrshire with their palliative care needs.
Achievements so far
• Increased referral rate by introducing self-referral
• Information and peer support through Facebook
• Professional assessment via Near Me
• Exercise and peer support sessions via zoom
All regions of Ayrshire and all 5 quintiles from SIMD are reached. Patients who would not attend face-to-face due to symptom burden have also been able to access the online service.
