Bringing People and Services Together
The day was full of energy and collaboration. Attendees included national charities such as Parkinson’s UK and Alzheimer’s Society alongside multiple NHS practices under the local PCN umbrella. Every registered patient received a text invitation, and the turnout exceeded expectations - proof of how valuable this kind of community-driven approach can be.
Our Role at the Event
Representing the digital side of health support, the Wavemaker team was on hand to help attendees navigate the NHS App and understand how digital tools can make managing healthcare simpler. Over four busy hours, we supported people with everything from enabling notifications for prescriptions and appointments to answering questions about digital safety and accessibility.
Our message was clear: digital services are here to complement, not replace, personal care. By demystifying these tools, we help people feel more confident and in control of their own healthcare journey.
Why Events Like This Matter
Partnership events like “Winter Ready” are powerful examples of how technology and health can work hand-in-hand to empower communities. By taking part, Wavemaker helped ensure digital inclusion was at the heart of the conversation - supporting individuals who may otherwise miss out on the benefits of online health tools.
Looking Ahead
We’re excited to continue collaborating with local authorities, healthcare providers, and community organisations to improve digital health literacy and accessibility. Together, we can bridge the gap between technology and healthcare, creating more inclusive, informed, and empowered communities.
