In partnership with Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB, Age UK Lancashire are delivering a project, providing digital inclusion support to vulnerable adults to improve the outcomes of elective recovery programmes.

The main aims of the programme are to develop and deliver a digital inclusion wraparound support package which will realise the following benefits:

• Ensure that digital elective recovery programmes reach some of our most vulnerable adults who are digitally excluded.


• Support adults to prepare better for elective admissions, with the potential to reduce lengths of stay and improved rates of recovery.


• Support our adults through digital technology pre and post-op so that after discharge we can reduce the likelihood of re-admissions.


• Unlock the potential for more patients in Primary Care to access digital support such as virtual consultations and app usage, within and beyond elective care.


• Digitally upskill patients, allowing them to access services themselves, and improving their health and overall wellbeing.


• Reduce future demand on primary and secondary care services by digitally enabling our patients whilst on a care pathway.
