The purpose of the programme is to offer support to enable this group of people to attend and participate in an online education programme called Control It Plus (run on Teams) and register to access the "my diabetes, my way" website. We anticipate a range of people with different digital needs: • People with devices but limited experience in using them • People without devices who need safe access • People with low IT confidence and skills • People who are looking to stay safe online while accessing online health information Volunteers will support people to overcome these digital obstacles in a variety of settings which may be in a community venue such as a library or The Market Place or in the person's home. Digital Champion training will be provided via Voluntary Action whilst NHSGGC will provide training on specific online tools and apps designed to support people with diabetes. It is important to note that volunteers DO NOT need to have experience of Type 2 Diabetes or have a health background as the focus of the role is about digital support.
