WORKSHOP C / C1 - Mark Finlay - Sales and Marketing Director: Motech: How using Mobile & Digital technologies in a highly robust, secure way we can deliver a hugely valuable service to users, Carers and relevant organisations. Motech have set out to ensure we improve people’s lives by delivering innovative services for people living with dementia, learning disabilities or simply at a time in their lives where a bit more support is required. Motech have also focused very strongly on the people who share their lives with their users – the Carers, family members, neighbours. Their service is built to ensure they are connected at all times to the end user. All of this is tied into a platform that supports an organisation focused on delivering technology enabled care, a residential nursing home, a hospital or a responders centre. Their mission – to ensure people live the most independent life possible but with complete reassurance and peace of mind.
WORKSHOP D / D1 - Paul Finch - TSA: The work TSA are doing on the new Quality Standards Framework and a migration from an outputs audit model, to an outcomes based approach. This puts the service user at the centre of what services should be achieving. The e-learning platform that will be launched at conference, which will be free for members to use and how this will help drive quality through minimum competencies for service staff, which also feeds into the Quality Standards Framework.
