A NEW digital programme for schools combining health apps with the national curriculum has launched at a school this month.
St Thomas’s Centre in Lambeth Street, Blackburn, will join the seven other East Lancashire schools participating in the Digital Healthy Schools scheme.
The programme enables pupils to engage with mobile apps to help them manage their health.
It has been designed in collaboration with teachers and students from across the country to join together national health and academic priorities.
In the initiative, ‘safe’ health apps can be searched, compared, downloaded and recommended.
Healthier Lancashire and South Cumbria, the Sustainability and Transformation Partnership (STP), and ORCHA (the Organisation for the Review of Care and Health Applications) are collaborating to introduce the programme.
