what is the network?
An association of 21st century practitioners which aims:
To take a holistic view of care that includes all involved in providing, commissioning,
funding and researching care solutions, from policy makers to the front line.
To nurture innovative approaches to care and support which bring together
stakeholders from across the public, academic, private and not-for-profit sectors.
To encourage all those involved with care to work more closely together, to avoid
unnecessary duplication and to turn policy and research into impact and outcomes.
To provide an independent and authoritative voice which promotes investment
in new models of care, supporting innovation and economic growth.

how it works

care in the digital age
The network’s first initiative.
A one day conference designed to help participants to deliver more user-focused,
cost effective services by showcasing digital technologies that offer new ways of
supporting service users and carers.
The event presents digital technology solutions across a wide range from personal
networks through to ‘keeping in touch’ systems and meal sharing initiatives.
The emphasis is on technologies that promote independence, diminish social
isolation and address the issue of digital exclusion. It draws on our experience of
the availability, impact and effectiveness of web and app based systems in the sector
and also focuses on the use of social media to facilitate more joined-up working.
