The VOPD webinar series "Technology use for Covid 19 response" was held during autumn 2020. Watch our recorded webinars here!

Using distance-spanning services for healthcare and care helps to protect our most vulnerable citizens from the pandemic. But what distance-spanning services exist? How can we bring them to the people that need them? And how do we fast-track innovation of healthcare and care? These are the questions that were highlighted in our webinar series during autumn 2020.
