You in turn will be supported by a Benefits Supporter with expert knowledge of the UK Welfare System who will help you to answer any complex queries that come your way.

Using video calls for medical consultations and welfare appointments increases access for people who have difficulty attending a surgery, clinic or community-based services. However, some people may not have money to buy devices, WI-FI or mobile broadband. DVVA Techonolgy Enabled Care Team is working with partners to make digital health more accessible to community members, and looking to engage with volunteers willing to maximise the use of technology for health and social care purposes. Volunteers will provide in-person assistance to use the 'Near Me' service, enabling those less digitally confident and/or from disadvantaged communities to access medical appointment and welfare related services from a local community facility, Brooksbank Centre. Volunteers will show people how to use a digital device (i.e. tablets) to book and attend a Near Me appointment, provide reminders ahead of their appointment, and gather feedback from users.
