Health and Digital Literacy Partnership
The Health and Digital Literacy Partnership supports citizens to develop the digital skills that they will need to access health information in a digital environment. Pilot projects received funding in two cohorts to try out different approaches
to improving health and digital literacy.
The partnership is a collaboration between CILIP, national NHS Knowledge and Library Services team (at NHS England, formerly Health Education England), Libraries Connected and Arts Council England. Click the button for more information.
