Digital confidence sessions launched by Frome Medical Practice

We are launching a series of digital confidence sessions, starting on 18th March. The sessions will be free and are designed to help people feel more comfortable and in control when using everyday technology. Each session will offer a relaxed, welcoming space to learn, chat and ask questions about a range of digital topics.

Will Palmer is a Digital Community Connector at the practice and is helping organise the sessions. He said, “We’ve a list of topics we want to cover in these sessions, from staying safe online and avoiding scams, learning more about digital wearables such as hearing aids, fitness trackers and smart health devices, and finding out how AI can support your health. We are also keen to hear what other sessions people would find helpful too.”

The first Digital Confidence session takes place on 18th March from 2pm to 3pm, in the Education Room (upstairs) at the practice and will focus on staying safe online and avoiding scams. It will be led by the Avon and Somerset Police Cyber Crime Unit.

Will added, “Anyone living in Frome, and surrounding villages, is welcome to come along to these sessions. We are starting with a topic that we know many people are concerned about so please join us if you can.”

Sessions are free and there’s no need to book your place - simply come along to the Education Room (upstairs) at the practice for a 2pm start on 18th March. Please check the practice website or social media for dates of future sessions.
