Meeting challenges and seizing opportunities in Telecare

The roll out of personalised budgets in Glasgow will involve challenges and opportunities for those involved in Telecare. There will be greater need to educate the market and ensure people, their families, carers and representatives can make informed choices about products and service offerings.
