More than four-fifths of Digital Health News readers said they believe the outbreak of Covid-19 will speed up the adoption of digital tools across the NHS. Digital Health’s new Digital Responses to Covid-19 Webinar series aims to help support this acceleration.
Digital Health weekly webinar series are dedicated to sharing ideas and approaches on using digital tools to help respond to the unprecedented public health emergency posed by Coronavirus.
Digital tools, platforms and services offer a variety of ways for UK health services to help manage the unique challenges of the Covid-19 public health emergency, ranging from mobilising entire workforces, triaging patients, providing advice and guidance through to shifting from in-person to video consultations.
The new webinars will connect NHS leaders and suppliers and provide an opportunity for exchange of ideas.
The next of the Webinar series will put Microsoft in the hot seat, detailing how they are working with NHS organisations to enable them to very rapidly mobile-enable their staff.

Hi Walter,
Digital Health News is a news service run by a team of journalists. We are not part of the NHS, nor are we affiliated with the NHS or any other healthcare provider in the UK.
As such, Digital Health News is unable able to offer guidance regarding the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. We advise anyone seeking approved medical advice to visit nhs.uk.
If the letter you are referring to is the isolation note, NHS Digital has said the notes can be accessed via NHS 111 (https://111.nhs.uk/isolation-note/) or NHS.UK, as well as via the NHS app.
