Design Community of Practice February 2025

The Design Community of Practice will next meet virtually on Wednesday 26 February from 10am to 12pm.

Presentation: Profiling the data, seeing the person

We will be joined by Stephanie Elliot, Technology Enabled Care in Housing Lead, and Cheryl Stevenson, Care Technologist Lead with Scottish Care.
Their presentation will be a reflection on current Financial Inclusion pilot data that is allowing them to illustrate, via persona creation, the struggles faced by vulnerable groups in Scotland when trying to access financial support and advice.

Stephanie has the goal of supporting social landlords in upscaling the housing sector's contribution to the digital health and care strategy.
Cheryl is passionate about exploring the role of technology in both person-led care and support delivery, and in empowering people to achieve their goals and ambitions in life.

Scottish Approach to Change

Elizabeth Brooks, Senior Service Designer will give a brief update on progress of the Scottish Approach to Change.
