THE NORTH Wales Regional Partnership Board are delighted to host Wales’ first ever Digital Social Care Showcase today (March 5), at Venue Cymru, Llandudno.
People who both provide and use social care, their family and friends will be at Venue Cymru to learn about how technology can help them every day. A chance to explore how different technologies can help make everyday tasks easier. Reminder apps to take medication, or smart home gadgets that control lights and heating to name but a few. Talks and activities about different technology to help people with learning disabilities, mobility issues, older people and anyone who may need support are also part of the day.
Andy Dunbobbin, Police & Crime Commissioner North Wales, who has an avid interest in the development of digitalisation throughout the region will be welcomed by Cllr Dilwyn Morgan, Chair of the Regional Partnership Board this morning.
Cllr Dilwyn Morgan said of Mr Dunbobbin’s visit: “We’re delighted to have Andy Dunbobbin join us at the showcase event.
“A first for Wales, this is part of work undertaken by our joint health and social care North Wales Digital, Data and Technology Board that highlighted that there’s lots of opportunities to use technology, but that people don’t necessarily know about.
“There will be lots of opportunities to show Andy about how health and social care can use technology in practice. It will all be grounded in people’s lived experience of social care.”
Andy Dunbobbin, Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales said: “As Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales and someone with a professional background in digital and IT, I am delighted to be attending Wales’ first ever Digital Social Care Showcase.
“It’s a real coup to have such an important event here in North Wales, featuring all the ways that the digital world can help deliver a modern, user-focused social care service for a changing health landscape.”
