Advice on Telecare

With over 1.5m people with telecare in England and extensive case study examples now available, our focus is moving to practical solutions and positive outcomes for users, patients and carers together with good practice and organisational benefits.

There are now over 300 telecare service links in England.

We have archived older materials and factsheets but they can still be obtained by contacting telecare@dhcarenetworks.org.uk

The following resources will help with implementing telecare and telehealth programmes:

• Telecare outcomes - case studies, performance information, themed reports and presentations
• Telecare Services - a service directory of telecare organisations
• Telecare Newsletters - a comprehensive monthly newsletter of progress in England and news from around the World on telecare and telehealth

Our services continue to include:
