The NHS App - Training for VCSE Organisations working in Gateshead

This training is for any VCSE organisation working in Gateshead

The NHS App can help people take control of their health and care safely and conveniently. It’s free, secure, and designed to make everyday healthcare tasks simpler.

Join this training to find out more about supporting your communities' access to the NHS App to better manage their health. We’ll cover common barriers to getting signed up, simple step-by-step guidance, and ways to make digital learning accessible.

This session will be led by digital inclusion trainers from Digital Voice for Communities, who have recently completed a Gateshead wide project in GP waiting rooms, supporting hundreds of people to access the app.

This training is open to any VCSE organisation working in Gateshead.
Please consider booking as soon as possible, as spaces are limited for best learning outcomes.
Refreshments will be provided.

This training will be in person at Wailes Room, Gateshead Central Library, Prince Consort Road, Gateshead, NE8 4LN

Our training and events are funded from a variety of sources, allowing us to offer them for free to eligible organisations. Please check the eligibility requirements for each session before signing up, as this varies from course to course. If your organisation is not eligible for a free session you may be interested in one of our tailored training packages.

You can keep up to date with the latest training and events from Connected Voice by subscribing to our fortnightly email bulletin.

Attendance and value Our team have dedicated significant time and resource to create and deliver our excellent range of training and events. Connected Voice is funded for this work, allowing us to offer these events free of charge. However, we expect people who have registered to prioritise attendance and let us know as soon as possible if there is a barrier to attending. We may follow up with you if you are absent without letting us know.

Delivery This event will be delivered in person at Wailes Room, Gateshead Central Library, Prince Consort Road, Gateshead, NE8 4LN . You can see more about the venue here. 

Accessibility Please let us know in advance if you have any accessibility requirements that would help you get the most out of this session. We will do everything we can to accommodate them. We can provide a BSL interpreter for training and events on request, but ask you to give us enough advance notice to enable this to be organised. To maximise resources, we are unable to provide BSL interpreters for all sessions unless we know this is essential.

Evaluation This event is free to attend but all participants will be required to complete a short evaluation on completion. This feedback enables us to continue delivering a free programme of training and events.

For security and practical reasons: You can only book one place for yourself. If a colleague wants to attend, they will need to book separately themselves. You must give us all the essential information requested so that we know your registration is genuine.

If circumstances change, you must advise us as soon as possible so that the place isn’t wasted as we have limited spaces for each event. You must also advise us if a substitute person from your organisation is attending in your place. We will be monitoring non-attendance, and may not accept future bookings from regular non-attenders.
