TEC Telecare works in partnership with the Local Government Digital Office and TEC in Housing, and engages with telecare service providers, citizens and other key stakeholders to provide leadership and support to drive continuous improvement, transformation and innovation in telecare deployment and service delivery.
The module is hosted on NES’s Turas platform. If you have a Turas account, the module can be accessed via the following link https://learn.nes.nhs.scot/62135
This eLearning module has been created to increase the awareness, knowledge, and confidence of the health and social care workforce to better understand the role of telecare in assessment and support planning.
In Phase One, three test sites developed and delivered targeted, proactive wellbeing calls, and aimed to identify factors that are critical for a person-centred, strengths-based, safe and effective approach. Â
The focus was on identifying and recruiting their target population, personalising their approach to calls, risk identification and management, staff development, training and support, and liaising, referring and sign-posting to other services and community supports.Â
We hosted 3 short lunchtime sessions in our Spring/Summer Series in June/July 2022. Thanks to all our presenters for making our 3rd Series so successful and sharing their knowledge and inspiring work with the telecare community.
