The aim of the project was to Establish, evaluate and refine the digital group offering of the Lanarkshire Mental health Occupational Therapy service. During the DLP our existing pilot programme was migrated from the NVCS to the Near Me platform. The change of platform supported the delivery of these groups and the evaluation of our pilots indicated this means of delivery is viable and can be beneficial for some within our client group. More broadly I have recognised the importance of enabling service user choice in terms of how they access services by broadening our digital offering. The DLP has provided me with invaluable tools and has significantly benefited my progress with the project. I have made excellent links across Scotland, and also with colleagues leading digital transformation more locally. The plan is to continue to refine and expand our digital group offering, and this has been greatly benefited by the DLP.
