Our new season of CMM OFF THE PAGE kicks off with an important and timely discussion, as we are joined by Liz Jones, Policy Director, The National Care Forum, Beverly Futtit, Digital Transformation Lead, The National Care Forum, and Hannah Groombridge, Head of Healthcare Engagement, Person Centred Software, to explore the next steps in digitising social care.

In this episode, our expert speakers set out to improve your knowledge of digital technologies and their potential to enhance outcomes for both providers and people drawing on care and support.

The speakers also aim to increase your awareness of providers’ data protection obligations and cyber security strategies. In addition, this episode discusses the latest funding opportunities for providers, where to access them and other ongoing financial commitments to support digitisation.

Furthermore, providers can expect to learn about best practice strategies for identifying, co-producing and implementing broad ranging technology solutions, and how you can get the most out of your assured solutions provider.

‘I believe your digital social care record is your foundation, if you can get that right, it should almost be boundaryless.’ Hannah Groombridge, Head of Healthcare Engagement, Person Centred Software.
