Technology Enabled Care Funding Available

Posted on July 12, 2019

The Digital Health and Care Supporting Service Transformation Delivery Plan was published earlier this year.

It articulates a strategic aim: to put in place a process that identifies innovative solutions, products and approaches that address key national priorities and can be adopted at a scale into mainstream business as usual.

Last year, work began to establish the Tests of Change for Technology Enabled Care (TEC) component of the Service Innovation Pipeline. The pipeline is now seeking stage 1 funding applications.

Stage 1 funding is intended to support improvement across a wide range of TEC service processes and pathways. Applications are open to any third sector organisation, integration authority, housing, independent care or NHS board.

Current test applicants will be invited to apply for stage 2 or 3 funding where appropriate. Applications are open to any sector.

Applicants for stage 1 funding must be made by completing the application form in the pack linked below. Please submit completed applications by email: NSS.TEC@nhs.net

The deadline for applications is Monday 12^th August.

For further information, including how to apply, please view or download the information and application pack.
