This episodes tackles falls, data and the future of social care technology. We dig into the ethics of passive monitoring, why the UK’s first attempt at sensor funding flopped, and why she’s genuinely nervous about care staff pasting resident data into ChatGPT. It’s a warm, funny, occasionally blunt conversation about why social care needs more people who care about tech, not just about care.

A refreshingly candid conversation about vendor partnerships in social care. Richard is upfront about One Advanced’s rocky product transition, and how some customers had genuinely difficult implementations and explains why the business recently split social care out from its NHS “big H” division to give it room to grow on its own. The conversation ranges from why AI feels different in social care to cautious optimism about government attention on the sector.

This episode talks about acoustic monitoring and why the UK lags almost every other European market in adopting it. We dive into the crucial difference between “prevention” and “detection” sensor technology, and why the funding model (not the tech) is the real barrier in the UK. But the heart of the episode is in the real-life stories, it’s a genuinely moving discussion for what care technology can mean beyond falls prevention.

The episode includes a genuinely moving story about a caller named Martin, who has dementia and rang a care home at 6am and the follow-up call that helped him book a respite stay that same day.

This episode unpacks a side of workforce planning that rarely gets airtime: sponsor license compliance. Sponsor license revocations are up roughly 10x since 2020, and adult social care bears the brunt because it holds the most sponsor licenses. The conversation covers real, sobering stakes alongside a forward-looking idea for a portable “staff passport,” and closes with warmer stories about the genuine, positive impact international recruitment has had on care delivery in UK care homes.

This episodes talks about where workforce training is heading. They trace the sector’s shift from face-to-face training to e-learning during COVID, and the bigger shift now underway with AI. Both guests argue LMS platforms have outgrown their reputation as a “tick-box” compliance tool and now have a real role to play in building career pathways, addressing the sector’s carer shortage, and even sitting at government policy tables.
