How could better access to information help you deliver care?

As we continue our work to understand what a social care interoperability platform could look like and the problems it needs to solve for adult social care, we want to make sure we’re hearing from as many people as possible from across the sector.

We’ve been conducting user research interviews with a wide range of people from care workers to registered managers, social workers to nurses. To make sure we capture as much insight as possible we’re now inviting you to have your say and share your experiences of how you access and share information as part of your day to day role.

It doesn’t matter what your role is, your experience is valuable and will really help us in developing our technical approach to improving the way information is shared between social care and health services.

We have two surveys, one for staff working in Residential Care and one for staff working in Homecare. They will only take a few minutes to complete and there are no right or wrong answers. The surveys will close on 21 November.

Here’s the link to the survey for care staff working in Residential care homes (including nursing homes).

This link will take you to the survey for care staff working in Home Care (domiciliary care).
