The presentation will look at what health and social care should be seeking to achieve, particularly in the light of the aspirations set out in the Health and Social Care Act and the Care and Support White paper. The benefits that telecare and telehealth can offer are apparent but fitting them in to a complex care and support system, understanding who can benefit, who should make the offer how it fits into wider systems of assessment, diagnosis and service delivery is not always straightforward. Pilots and trials often offer significant evidence of success but taking services to scale is more challenging. This session will aim to cover the opportunities and challenges and look at the practicalities of delivering the kind of transformation we need.
The presentation will present some fundamental problems preventing health and social care teams working together trying their best to meet the needs of the patient
The NHS and social care face a major challenge to meet these needs within limited budgets and increasing needs.
To address this we need to transform the way care is delivered particularly for people with long term conditions and this includes culture change and use of modern technology.
This opportunity will be explored along with a radical proposal of encouraging clinicians and social care professionals to work differently as a real time team and putting the patient at the centre, in charge of their own information and meeting information governance assurances. A win for all, patients, clinicians, providers and industry!
Themes to be explored will include:
This presentation will explore how Scotland developed a national telehealth and telecare strategy and how that strategy is being transferred into operational service delivery on the ground. It will explore how a system change from services delivered by health and care professionals to one where patients, service users and their informal carer networks can be empowered through the use of technology to not only participate in service delivery but take the principal role. It will also explore the opportunities that cross-sectoral working can bring.
There are 6.4 million carers in the UK, caring for disabled, ill or older relatives or friends, and the numbers are growing. The pressure on carers is also growing –the number caring for over 50 hours a week has doubled in the last ten years. Carers make a massive contribution to our society and collectively save the economy £119 billion. Services to support carers are therefore crucial but the current approach too often fails to deliver the support needed, and is increasingly unsustainable with an ageing population.
A new approach is needed, one which recognises and supports the contribution that carers make, and technology has a crucial role to play in this. We will all be carers, or be cared for, at some point in our lives, and we need to maximise the potential of technology to support us in this, along with recognising that investing in services to support carers is an investment in our economic well-being.
With enormous pressure to reduce costs in learning disabilities services the notion that telecare is simply ‘Care on the Cheap’ has been successfully challenged in Dorset. A combination of activity monitoring, creative use of support hours, and telecare to manage risksand alert staff has led to an improved quality of care as well as significant cost savings. Come and hear how this has been achieved.
This breakout session will provide an introduction to data flows within the NHS, i.e. the main sources of data within Primary Care, Secondary Care and the Community, for those delegates starting to become involved with telehealth but with a non-NHS background.

This session discusses the evaluation results of a clinical study undertakenwith patients in the community, using the RESpeckbody-worn wireless sensor patch to measure continuously respiratory rate and effort, and activity. The study captured data from COPD patients in the community and has provided a new dimension to the already established virtual medical ward model operated by the Maryhill GP Practice in Elgin.
This workshop will look at the journey to improve medication compliance among service users, working in conjunction with Pharmacists and the PCT Pharmaceutical Governance and Development Manager and provide an opportunity to share ideas, protocols and best practice.
This break out session is set to answer the question in the title whilst describing some findings from recent studies that looked at the state of ‘tele-readiness’ amongst UK nursing staff. Understanding their level of skills, knowledge and nurses’ attitudes towards Telehealthcare technology is critical in managing change successfully within the clinical arena.
This breakout session is specifically designed for those delegates wishing to learn about the journey to Accreditation for the first time. It will take you through the various stages, the modular framework and provide ‘top tips’ for successful Accreditation to the TSA Telecare Code of Practice.
This break out session will dispel any myths you may have about operating a multi functional control room and explore how to use that to get maximum benefit and income from the greatest asset any organisation has – a highly skilled service operating 24/7/365.
The breakout session will include a brief description of the principles of mutuality in relation to housing, looking at opportunities to develop new forms of support – clustered support, community support, working in partnership with the local Council. It will look at the opportunities to introduce new forms of technology into Extra Care Housing with hub and bespoke care and support models
How do you enable millions more to access telecare and telehealth?
Swindon Borough Council has been delivering mobile response services since 1987. The breakout session will look at the role of the Responder, the rangeof services deployed and how such services can reduce hospital admissions and promote early discharge from hospital.

Traditional social alarms are using analogue tones (such as DTMF and STMF) to transfer data in the digital communication networks of today. Mixing fundamentally different technologies is ill advised and is hindering the social alarm business to develop. The Swedish Government has assigned the Swedish Institute of Assistive Technology (SIAT) in association with The Swedish Post and Telecom Authority, and The Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare to conduct a full technology shift for social alarms in Sweden. SIAT are also committed to the EU Commission to support a full technology shift for social alarms in Europe with partners from Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Slovakia. The workshop 'No more tones' will present best practise and experience of conducting a technology shift in all its aspects with developing new technology and standards, meeting market needs, and pushing development of IT infrastructure and new business models.
The challenges we face for the next twenty years mean that we wll have to find new ways of working. Traditional barriers and approaches have delivered some gains but others have remained elusive and barriers often seem embedded between agencies. Some partnerships seem to succeed only in building a third culture which then competes with the existing NHS and Social care cultures. This presentation will discuss some learning from experience, filtered through research evidence on culture and partnerships to identify some critical success factors where partnerships work or do not.
Young people have lots of concerns when it comes to accessing sexual health services. We have developed an app that responds to typical barriers by combing the use of messages which motivate and empower the user to attend, with GPS positioning and maps, to locate the user and guide them to their nearest service. The app aims to encourage and support the user through the process of choosing the most appropriate service and providing reassurance. It also aims to empower young people through a ‘rate my service’ function enabling them to provide anonymous feedback on their experiences which in turn should drive up standards.
This breakout session will explore the challenges and opportunities of IP based products as experienced in Sweden in terms of the ServiceProvider and the end user.
