🚀Digitally Enabled Lives: Building Connected Communities

How can we build more connected communities where people can access the services, support and technology they need to live well and independently?

📍The Catalyst, 3 Science Square, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE4 5TG
⏰ 09:00 – 15:30

What to Expect?
The programme is taking shape around themes including:

• Moving from reactive to preventative care considering how technology can support earlier intervention, reablement and ongoing community-based support
• Connecting health, housing and social care exploring the opportunities and challenges involved in working across organisational boundaries
• Supporting independence through technology looking at how digital approaches can provide people with greater choice, control and confidence in their daily lives
• Developing the workforce and culture considering the skills, confidence and organisational change needed to embed new ways of working
• Designing services with people and communities examining the role of research, co-design and community partnerships in creating support that reflects people’s real needs

📢 TSA Housing Commission: call for evidence

TSA has established a new Housing Commission, supported by Tunstall Healthcare, bringing together leaders from housing, health, care and technology, alongside people with lived experience. The Commission will develop a practical Blueprint exploring how housing data, digital infrastructure and technology enabled care can help identify risk earlier, support prevention and strengthen resident services. To inform its recommendations, the Commission is seeking case studies, examples of best practice, research findings and lived experiences that demonstrate how technology is supporting housing providers and residents. Every contribution will help strengthen the evidence base behind the Blueprint. To share evidence or discuss a potential submission, contact [email protected] or [email protected]

🚀Closing the TEC confidence gap

Technology Enabled Care (TEC) can make a real difference to independence, wellbeing and everyday life, but to make that impact, staff need the confidence and knowledge to know what’s available, what it can do, and when it could make a difference.

Across the sector, that confidence isn’t always consistent. TEC can sometimes feel technical, specialist or separate from everyday care practice, meaning valuable opportunities to support people can be missed.

That’s where TSA’s Virtual Home comes in 🏡

Virtual Home gives staff a practical, interactive way to explore TEC in familiar home environments. Moving through different rooms and scenarios, they can see how technology might support someone with falls prevention, medication, environmental monitoring, safer living, communication, daily routines or support for unpaid carers.

And the impact speaks for itself...
- 13,000+ people across the UK have used Virtual Home
- 95% increased awareness – 95% of learners completing the e-learning courses reported having a good or increased level of awareness of TEC following completion.
- 95% increased knowledge – 95% of learners completing the e-learning courses reported having good or increased knowledge of how TEC can be used following completion.
- 39% increase in quality referrals – Work undertaken with Local Authorities in the Northeast demonstrated a sustained
- 39% increase in quality TEC referrals following completion of the courses. These referrals were reviewed by TEC teams and were identified as appropriate, with the resulting TEC packages delivering measurable improvements to the quality of life of the people receiving them.

With TSA’s Virtual Home securing funding through the skills for care impact fund, to further develop and expand the Virtual Home programme, strengthening workforce confidence, improving consistency in Technology Enabled Care decisions, and supporting better outcomes for people drawing on care and support.

Your invited to our upcoming webinar Scaling TEC Together: The People, Process and Path Forward

📅 Wednesday 30 September
📍 MS Teams - https://tinyurl.com/yc36khr9
⏰ 10:00 – 11:00

Across adult social care, the ambition to use technology enabled care more proactively is already there. Many local authorities have strategies in place, clear priorities and a strong understanding of the role TEC can play in supporting people to live well and independently for longer.

The challenge is turning that ambition into an operating model that works every day, across teams, services and systems.

With demand continuing to rise, workforce capacity under pressure and budgets increasingly stretched, there is a growing need to make proactive and preventative approaches work at scale. The ADASS and TSA Blueprint, Unlocking the Power of Proactive and Preventative Care Services, set out the opportunity and the case for change. This webinar will focus on the practical journey that follows.

We will explore what it takes to move from strategy into delivery, from developing a compelling business case and securing senior sponsorship, through to co-designing new ways of working, engaging the workforce and embedding TEC within everyday practice.

The session will also look at how organisations can demonstrate impact, build confidence in new approaches and create the evidence needed to maintain momentum over the longer term.

There's something special about bringing people together face-to-face.

Last month, we hosted an in-person TSA event, and it was a great reminder of why membership is about so much more than access to information, it's about connection.

Seeing members come together to share experiences, discuss challenges, celebrate successes, and learn from one another reinforced the true value of being part of the TSA community. The conversations, insights, and willingness to support each other are what make our network so powerful.

These events create a safe environment where members can explore new technologies, ask questions, learn from real-world experiences, and benefit from the collective expertise of both fellow members and the TSA team. It's a space where knowledge is shared openly, ideas are sparked, and valuable relationships are built.

Technology continues to evolve at pace, but having a trusted community around you makes navigating change that much easier.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to such engaging discussions. The energy, expertise, and openness in the room were exactly what TSA membership is all about.

If you've ever wondered what TSA membership could do for you or your organisation, we'd love to have a conversation. Feel free to reach out and let's discuss how becoming part of the TSA community can help you connect, learn, and grow.

Introducing the National Sector Support Group

TSA has brought together leading organisations from across the technology enabled care sector to support a new programme aimed at growing investment in TEC.

The TEC National Sector Support Group is being supported by Alcove, Access Group, Careium, Chiptech, Legrand Care, Taking Care and Tunstall Healthcare, with each organisation committing to a multi-year investment in the programme.

Acting as an independent convenor, TSA is working with sponsors, commissioners, policy makers and sector partners to strengthen the evidence, messaging and practical guidance needed to increase confidence and investment in TEC.

The group has been formed around a clear aim: to help more decision makers understand the value of TEC, invest in it with confidence and recognise its role in delivering better outcomes for people who draw on care.

Year one of the programme will focus on four connected workstreams:
• Stronger messaging around the value of TEC
• A stronger evidence base to support investment decisions
• An updated Blueprint for Proactive & Preventative Services
• A new TEC commissioning guide

A major output from the first phase of the programme will be a sector briefing intended to inform discussions taking place through the Casey Commission review and the wider adult social care reform agenda.

The programme will also begin laying the foundations for a clearer understanding of the scale, impact and contribution of the TEC sector, helping to inform future policy, commissioning and investment decisions.

Last week, our very own Henry Lockett graduated from the Housing LIN Future Leaders Programme 🎉

Everyone at TSA is incredibly proud of Henry and this fantastic achievement.

Reflecting on his experience, Henry shared:

"The Future Leaders Programme has broadened my perspective on what leadership can be. It has shown me that there isn't a single path or style of leadership, but that the most effective leaders are those who are authentic to themselves. One of the most valuable aspects has been building a network of like-minded peers across the housing sector, learning from their experiences, and supporting one another. The programme has given me the confidence and space to reflect on the kind of leader I want to become, and I leave feeling inspired, better connected, and excited about the opportunities ahead."

Congratulations, Henry! We're excited to see where your leadership journey takes you next, and we're proud to have you as part of the TSA team. 👏
