Report
This report details the outcomes of engagement with current and potential users of telecare services in Scotland. We asked participants about their experiences of using telecare, and what they would like to see from a service in the future. The group was self-selected after communications sent on our behalf by The Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland (the ALLIANCE).
This is the first in a series of engagements which will be held in order to support the co-design of telecare services by providers across Scotland.
