Back to the Future! Prof Crooks and the DHI


Listen Later

Professor George Crooks is the Chief Executive Officer of the Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre. He was a GP in Aberdeen for many years and understands the challenges facing Primary Care, as we move forward in a Digital age. At the recent SNUG Members’ day, he gave a plenary entitled: “Back to the Future! How can we use next generation digital solutions to deliver safe effective and sustainable services?” in which he posed the following questions: 

  • What does person centred data sharing look like?
  • How good - and complete -  is the data that we use to make decisions for our patients and their families? 
  • How much do we currently listen to our patients, and understand what their expectations are for the health care we provide?
  • “All we have to do is understand that our health and wellbeing is down to us as individuals, and we have to look at better ways of empowering individuals to take more responsibility, not simply for making better health and wellbeing choices, but also delivering more of their health care themselves...”

    We have a condensed version of his talk on this episode – the full version with slides is available for SNUG members on our website – see link below.
