“It’s often not the technology which leads to change, but human behaviour.”
- @DavidBehan15 closes our celebration of #SocialCare innovation by emphasising the importance of people, relationships, and behaviour.

[SASCIProject @SASCI_Project]

“A lot of the innovations people are using related to #SocialCare are customised from general tech developments, like Ring and Alexa. Being able to customise tech to people’s needs is key, but we still can’t replace human interaction.”
- @AnnaSeverwright

“When we turn care into a verb rather than a noun - it’s something you do rather than something that you are - can address stigma around providing, receiving, and facilitating care at various points in our life.”
- Emma Back from @equalcarecoop reflecting on transforming #care.

[SASCIProject @SASCI_Project]

In the breakout session on the #innovation community, participants are collaboratively working through approaches to #SystemsChange in #SocialCare along the innovation journey. ✍️
