About the event
Technology has long been a part of caring arrangements in the UK and beyond, from telecare and monitoring services to care robotics. As an area of fast development (and increased investment) it is sometimes viewed as a ‘solution’ to the care crisis.
In this live podcast recording in the Raynor Lounge in the University of Sheffield Students’ Union, experts with lived experiences from the care and research sectors will explore some of the opportunities and challenges associated with increased digitalisation of social care.
The podcast will be hosted by the Centre for Care’s Dr Kate Hamblin and will available to listen to after the event here on the Centre for Care website and on all major podcast platforms.
