The future of adult social care depends on finding new ways to support patients earlier. Helping them live independently for longer while responding to growing demand and mounting pressures on services. Technology-enabled care has a vital role to play, but real transformation requires a broader rethink of how care is designed and delivered.

In this episode of CTRL+Care: The Future of TEC and Digital Care, Robert Turnbull, social care expert at PA Consulting, discusses how councils can move beyond efficiency-driven change programmes and use technology to enable more preventative, person-centred models of care.
