#kentdigicare a milestone for connected care?
On the 12th July an exciting event took place in Sittingbourne Kent. 150 professionals and volunteers from care, health, housing, community services and the voluntary sector joined together with service users and carers to discuss how digital technology can enhance care services. They were joined online by people with an interest in social innovation for care from across the UK. The aim of the event was to explore how digital technology can help to improve the wellbeing of individuals who need care and support as well as their families and carers.To encourage social learning from the event we have gathered together all of the resources shared before, during and after the day.
#KentDigiCare was the first collaboration from the Connected Care Network. We are now in discussions with a number of organisations and further collaborations will be announced in the autumn.

Mindings and Care in the Digital Age @MindingsStu
What did we achieve?
Every participant to make at least five new connections, learn about five new technology innovations that will enhance care in their communities and taking  learning points to share with colleagues in the workplace and community connectors and builders.
Conclusions
“The Kent Care in the Digital Age event created a fantastic environment for engagement, improving understanding and furthering discussion about how  professionals can widen their understanding of the digital opportunities that exist.  We need to understand  how technology can support people to connect with their communities, provide tools for family carers and professional staff and  importantly put people in more control of their own lives. One of the key messages coming through from #kentdigicare was that we need to support people, whenever possible, to use the technology themselves to complement more “traditional”health and social care support. It’s time for health and social care to catch up and enter the digital age.” James Lampert Commissioning Manager Kent County Council @uk_james

Digital Leadership – 10 top tips from @clarkmike
Is a âdigitalâ leader any different from a âtraditionalâ leader? Following on from top ten tips on social media http://bit.ly/16v9eGf, Mike Clark suggests some of the likely characteristics of digital leaders.
1 You donât have to be a techie
Digital leaders do not have to be experts on tech detail, but need to understand how to exploit it to make connections and achieve good outcomes that make a difference
2 You donât need an organisation
Digital leaders donât always have organisations, budgets or staff – they donât need structure charts â they may have more connections and followers outside of their own organisations
3 Its 24/7/365 and chaotic
Digital leaders operate in a 24/7/365 disrupted & chaotic world not cosy hierarchies, clubs and niches â they build new connections & collaborations at speed â they may be on their own but they communicate extensively
4 You listen more to people with opposing views
Digital leaders seek out people with different views and perspectives to understand how barriers can be overcome â they have wide reach, they question and challenge, summarise and synthesise, simplify and de-clutter when necessary
5 Restrict social media access and you may lose your followers
If organisational managers restrict social media access in work hours, staff will find digital leaders out of hours operating 24/7/365 in open, accessible environments. Equally, giving staff access to social media is unlikely to turn around a poorly led organisation
6 Inspire in 140 characters & trust your staff
If as a leader you are not able to summarise your vision in simple terms in 140 characters, someone else on social media will probably be the inspiration for your staff. Sadly, staff are often forced to leave their digital skills at the office door – digital leaders help nurture and develop those skills
7 Be courageous
It takes courageous leaders to allow their own hierarchies to be disrupted – digital leaders can build external followers before looking at how they can develop & engage their own organisations. Digital leadership is not the role of the Comms Team
8 Use multiple platforms to source ideas and communicate successÂ
Digital leaders use social media on multiple platforms as a test bed for their ideas and innovations â crowdsourcing, cajoling, capturing and continuously looking for and communicating small wins
9 Think real time, not part time
Digital leaders acknowledge sources, build trust and show appreciation in real time using multiple platforms that work for their connections and followers who appreciate the recognition of their contributions
10 Review and dismantle barriers
Digital leaders review and dismantle traditional infrastructures that act as barriers to innovation or which do not add value â they support and champion people that are close to service users and customers â they help people unlearn bad habits & some non-digital skills that impede progress
