Claire Dellar talks about her experience of using assistive technology and explains how other people’s choices not to prioritise accessibility affect her.
I spend a lot of time in conversations that start something like this:
“I’m really sorry I can’t fill in that report, it’s not accessible to me. Can you send it in another format?”
In March 2024, the Westminster Health Forum policy conference on "Next steps for clinical research in the UK" brought together stakeholders from across the research industry. Heather Pinches shares her insights from the event.

Thasmim Ali describes the changes we’ve made to our digital service catalogue to make it easier for our stakeholders to find out and understand what national digital services are available for NHS staff and organisations to use.
NHS England provides more than 100 national digital services for the NHS. They’re listed in the service catalogue on the NHS England Digital website.
However, after speaking with digital leaders across the system, our ‘Who Does What’ programme team identified two important problems.
Chiara Garattini and Kate Burn explain how working in our Data and Analytics sub-directorate has challenged the assumptions of our user-centred design team.
A big part of early work on projects typically involves helping our colleagues to focus a bit less on the characteristics of their products and the requirements of their internal processes, and to instead start by involving users to understand their needs.
Therefore, it's been interesting to work on projects that required our team to get deep into the weeds of the process in order to, ultimately, put the focus back on users.
Liz Gaffney, Head of NHS England's Secure Data Environment, reflects on the developments of the service one year on.
In January, Michael Chapman blogged about our ambitious plans for the NHS England Secure Data Environment (SDE), starting with migrating customers to the service, testing its capabilities and processes, and then scaling up the service to handle wider use.
As we prepare to bring new products and suppliers into the GP IT market, Dan Wintercross discusses the Tech Innovation Framework.
The demand for primary care is increasing, with GP practices currently delivering more than 27 million appointments every month. It’s more important than ever to make sure they have the best digital tools to support them to do their job.
Our data-driven clinical trials service, NHS DigiTrials, is changing what is possible for researchers but there’s more to do, says our Head of Clinical Trials.
We’re seeing numbers coming out of the NHS DigiTrials’ recruitment service that would not have seemed possible 2 years ago.
Clinical informatics manager Chris Day says full implementation of multi-factor authentication is critical to local organisations’ cyber security.
Cyber security is about risk reduction and that can make it a difficult sell in the NHS.
Hard-pressed boards often want to know how much something is going to save them, but the cost of not implementing cyber security measures can only be calculated when their network or system is compromised.
