Just as technology has become part of everyday life, Technology-Enabled Care has also become more acceptable and established within social care.
As we embrace specialised technology within the sector, the increase in usage means that employers and staff need to be aware of what types of technology-enabled care is available and how it can be used effectively to transform the way we deliver care.
In this series, we looked at the importance of technology in order to provide the best care within the industry.
