Â鶹ԭ´´ highlights how digital technology is empowering care

Throughout September Â鶹ԭ´´ is highlighting the benefits of digital technology in care with our ‘Digital technology: empowering care’ spotlight.

The campaign will look at how digital technology is being used in social care, and how this benefits care organisations, care workers and people who draw on support.

Digital technology in adult social care can significantly improve how people are supported by enhancing the quality, efficiency, and personalisation of care. Technology can be used to automate administrative tasks, allowing care workers to focus on more personalised and meaningful interactions with the people they support. Technology also offers opportunities to help people drawing on care and support to maintain independence.

For social care employers and the workforce, digital technology can streamline services and offers opportunities for staff learning and development. This means a more stable, skilled and motivated workforce and more efficient ways of working.

From digital care records to the use of robotics, to helping people who draw on care with tasks such as online banking – digital technology can mean many things in care. By improving digital skills and confidence for care workers we can take full advantage of the innovative ways in which technology can and is being used in social care.

Running across the Â鶹ԭ´´ website, social media and other communications channels, the spotlight will showcase real life examples from care organisations and people supported about how technology benefits them, as well as sharing resources to support with using more technology in your organisation.

You can follow the campaign and join in on discussions on social media using #DigitalEmpoweredCare.
