A prime objective for technology-based health and care services is to support citizens with their housing, health, and care needs. A positive step forward has been the Government prioritising technology as a means to improve these services, as outlined in its Urgent and Emergency Care Plan. And, as reinforced by the work of TAPPI, there is a growing understanding that objectives need to incorporate citizen-focused outcomes. In short, technology needs not only to deliver tangible benefits for the health and social care economy, but also for citizens, as highlighted by the recent County Councils Network / Tunstall Healthcare report, Adopting the right technology to transform social care.
Chaired by Iain MacBeath, Strategic Director of Health & Wellbeing at Bradford Metropolitan District Council, we were joined by:
- Jonathan Rallings, Senior Policy Advisor at the County Councils Network (CCN)
- Angus Honeysett, Head of Market Access at Tunstall Healthcare will discuss the recently published CCN report “Adopting the Right Technology to Transform Social Care” with an emphasis on housing.
- Bola Akinwale, Deputy Director for the National Healthcare Inequalities Improvement Programm at NHS England. Bola will consider how technology solutions and better integrated services can improve people's outcomes, reducing the need for crisis support, hospital admission, care home placements accident and emergency attendance.
- Alyson Scurfield, CEO at the TEC Services Association, will report on the progress of TAPPI Phase Two
- along with Susan Kay, CEO at Dunhill Medical Trust and Professor Roy Sandbach OBE, TAPPI Chair, who will join for a panel discussion on the report and how to align the findings.
We are thankful to this session's sponsor, Tunstall Healthcare.
