“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.
“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#Innovation
“We need to just jump in the river. The best learning comes from the things that don’t go according to plan.” - @JennyPittsNDTi on how we sometimes need to #JustDoIt, because the status quo of #AdultSocialCare isn’t good enough. ✅
“Invention and innovation is one thing, but actually implementing them is it’s own challenge.” - insights from the breakout session on the #innovation community.

- Emma Back from @equalcarecoop reflecting on transforming #care.
