We need a long term revolution

To radically reinvent care and support fit for the digitally connected 21st century

Every year millions of hours of social care are provided by millions of people both paid and unpaid.

Welcome to the wonderful, complicated and woefully undervalued world of social care

Can online innovations enhance social care?

The simple answer is yes but digital technology on it's own is not the solution.

Connected Care is important to make sense of a complex and

fragmented landscape.

What is the

Social Care Market?

Technology and tools help us navigate an

increasingly complex world

but I do not believe they will ever

replace human creativity, empathy

and intuition.

"We cannot solve problems by using the same kind of thinking

we used when we created them" Albert Einstein
