DHEZ community partnerships

Working with communities to create digital health solutions

DHEZ brings together businesses, health organisations, researchers and community groups to create digital health solutions targeted to specific patient groups in our region and beyond. We also work with several local charities to improve their health and wellbeing services by providing affordable support.

Our eye clinic and physiotherapy clinic are accessible to the public, and there are a number of training sessions available to all. Volunteers are also essential to the clinical trials that take place here.

Find out more below, including a case study of how Bradford Council are effectively using the facilities at DHEZ to implement new technology.

Graham Hutton, Health and Well Being Team Manager at Bradford City Council describes how the facilities at DHEZ, specifically the Tech House, are the perfect location for trialling innovative technology to improve social care in the region, and training staff to be confident in implementing this with those who need it.

We had a chat with Prof Sonia Cottom, Director of Pain Association Scotland, to find out more about the partnership helping people with chronic pain manage their condition.

Family friendly facilities

For patients with children, our waiting area has a children’s corner to support our patients to occupy little ones whilst waiting for appointments. They can sit and read, draw or even watch cartoons. We also have breastfeeding and baby changing facilities.
