WA Ear and Hearing Digital Health Forum

Following the success of the June 2021 WA Ear and Hearing Telehealth Forum, Rural Health West and partners invite delegates to come together to explore the role of digital health along the ear health pathway.

• Continue to explore the role of telehealth and digital health across the patient’s ear health journey and lifespan.
• Identify statewide capabilities where telehealth and digital health resources and systems are working well, and where improvements can be adopted.
• Learn practical applications of digital health, including a live demonstration of an ear telehealth consult.
• Learn and identify culturally-inclusive practices for Aboriginal people and families.
