VHS response to Renewing Scotland’s full potential in a digital world

December 18, 2020

The coronavirus crisis has demonstrated to health organisations that working digitally is more important than ever before, whether they are in the public, private or third sector. The crisis has driven fundamental changes in how services and support have had to be delivered, some of which may become permanent, or part of a blended offer. Organisations in the third and community sectors were arguably the fastest off the starting blocks at the start of the March lockdown in terms of moving support and services on-line wherever they could. This should provide useful lessons for public services about how to act at speed to develop and deliver new services.

You can read our full response to the Scottish Government consultation on Renewing Scotland’s Potential in A Digital World here:  VHS Response to Renewing Scotland’s full potential in a digital world.
