The Health & Technology session took place on day two of RNIB Scotland's Inclusive Design for Sustainability Conference.

Ever-increasing health demands allied with the development of new technologies, is driving innovation in the health sector. Demand for ophthalmology services has never been higher. Technologies developed to improve patient outcomes across the Eye Care Support Pathway can make a significant contribution. Across the whole of the NHS, technology is beginning to empower patients to have a greater control over their own health care. Our panel will discuss the latest development and innovations within a rapidly evolving environment.

She was joined on stage by: Nicola Cooper, Technology and Digital Innovation Lead with Scottish Care, Alan Stewart, Volunteer Campaigner with RNIB Scotland, and Ruth Hamilton, Consultant Clinical Scientist within NHS Glasgow and Greater Clyde.
