Digital Webinar Dates

Are you ready to move from Analogue to Digital?

The switch over from analogue to digital inevitable. The deadline for transitioning from analogue to digital telecommunications networks is December 2025. It is imperative that care homes are prepared well in advance due to infrastructure degradation, reduced engineers and geographical areas migrating earlier than others. These sessions have been designed for adult social care providers in England and are aimed at people who make decisions about the use of technology in care services.

Better Security Better are launching a series of  webinars where they will dive deep into each section of the DSPT.

NHS England’s digitising social care programme is funded by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and is delivered by a joint unit of DHSC and NHS England staff. It aims to transform adult social care through digital innovation, as set out in the 2021 government white paper, People at the Heart of Care. This work is further shaped by DHSC’s ongoing commitment to support digitisation of the sector outlined in the 2023 Next Steps paper.

4 years since it was set up, join us to hear what the programme has achieved (nearly 80% of CQC registered care organisations are now using a Digital Social Care Record!)! Also hear about what's next for the digitising social care programme.
