Earlier this month the PredicAire founders headed to the NEC Birmingham for a two-day exhibition which formed part of UK Care Week. In the build up to the UK Care Week, we also wrote about ‘Going Digital in Your Care Setting’.
One of the five speaking stages (and the one which we were most interested in) was ‘Digital Transformation and Technology in Care’ which, as regular readers of our Insights will know, is a subject we have written about many times. Over the two days, a variety of speakers examined how social care businesses could use technology to implement a more sustainable business model and further their growth; and also discussed how technology could be used in a safe and efficient way (something which we have also written about previously).
On the opening day of the show one of our founders, Vinay Patel, was invited to take part in the panel discussion on ‘Campaigning for Care Workers’ on the keynote stage. The expert panel discussed what needs to be done to get care workers the recognition they deserve. Vinay was able to use his experience as a provider of care services to add a unique perspective to the discussion. Vinay said, “We need to re-invest in our workforce. You need to look after your staff, your staff will look after your residents. We invest heavily in rewards, recognition, and wellbeing programmes to ensure that our team feels valued, rewarded and well supported. We’re making the money that they get paid go a longer way.”
Another of our founders, Alex Plenty, created a ‘shout out’ video about PredicAire. Watch what Alex had to say about PredicAire: My ShoutOut video
UK Care Week was the first time that PredicAire has exhibited, and it was a huge success. A significant number of people stopped at our stand to have a short demonstration of the software. It was wonderful to have met people who have the same vision as us and loved what we are doing as well as potential collaborators and leaders in the sector.
A big thank you to the organisers of UK Care Week for the fantastic week.
If you were unable to attend UK Care Week, or did not manage to speak with us whilst you were at the show, you can still arrange a demonstration of PredicAire. Simply get in touch with our amazing team at hello@predicaire.ai.
