St Rocco’s Hospice chosen to be part of new programme exploring how technology can enable a carer at home and in the community
The Tech for Better Care programme is supporting 10 care teams from across the UK to develop, test and pilot promising new ideas and approaches to care over approximately 18 months.
The teams will develop approaches to care that focus on the caring and enabling relationships needed between those who deliver care and those who receive care, and on care that is proactive in supporting people to live a better and more independent life where possible.
The teams will be supported through a three-phase innovation process where they will initially explore opportunities and develop ideas. The most promising ideas will then be supported to test and pilot their new approaches.
The project led by St Rocco’s Hospice and working in partnership with Healthwatch Warrington and Warrington Carers’ Hub aims to support carers to live well, reduce isolation and provide holistic resources using technology.
“We are delighted to be working with the Health Foundation to explores ways in which we can support carers of palliative patients at home through a digital solution. Working alongside our mission statement, this project will help educate and empower our community to care well and live well.”
“We’re very excited to launch this new programme and support these teams with their innovative ideas. Our aim is not only to get promising new ideas off the ground, but to demonstrate that by making the most of technology it is possible to deliver care in a way that is more proactive and focused on building supportive relationships, personally and with the community. Ultimately, we want to see the most effective piloted approaches scaled and spread to improve outcomes and experiences for those delivering and receiving care.”-
