Join VODG's digital and technology leaders network to explore the latest developments shaping integrated health and social care. From emerging policy and interoperability challenges to real-world examples of successful integration, this session will provide practical insights, strategic thinking and valuable peer learning for those leading digital transformation across social care charities.
This meeting will bring together sector experts to examine three key areas:
- Neighbourhood Health: Gain an overview of the emerging neighbourhood health agenda and what it means for social care providers, including the policy drivers behind this evolving approach to community-based care.
- Digital Excellence in Care: Hear the latest thinking and preliminary findings from the Digital Excellence in Care programme, including interoperability challenges, practical scenarios and the innovative concept of an "API Bank" to support more connected services.
- Integrated Health and Care in Practice: Learn from Greenwich Council's experience of developing a successful integrated health and social care model, demonstrating how strategic collaboration and digital innovation can improve outcomes and reduce fragmentation across local systems.
The session will also provide opportunities to connect with peers, share experiences and help shape future topics for the network.
Whether you are leading digital strategy, technology delivery or transformation programmes within a social care charity, this event offers valuable insights into the policy landscape, emerging digital initiatives and practical examples of integrated working.
Book your place today to join the conversation and help shape the future of digital innovation in social care.
