This session will give an overview of telecare
What it is and how it works
What elements you need to make telecare work
You will look at barriers to using technology and how these can be overcome through a presentation and group work.
Following the presentation you will explore and revisit ethics, risk, responsibility and accountability when increasing freedoms and independence using assistive technology.
How can this be squared with cost saving drivers in an ever changing financial climate?
