    Supporting Care Providers with their Digital Transformation Journeys...

    As you know we are working hard to promote and publicise the DSPT within the provider market across Berks, Oxon & Bucks, as well as providing tailored support to help providers complete the toolkit.

    We are making great progress, and since starting the project 2 years ago we have moved from 2% of CQC registered Adult Social Care providers across BOB having an in-date toolkit, to 67.77%. Having said that, this still leaves over 30% of the provider market without a toolkit, and information potentially at risk. We are doing all we can to target and support these providers.

    We're pleased to let you know that we are hosting 2 FREE face to face events in November and we would be most grateful of your help publicising these to providers – via email, at network meetings, via telephone or face to face. However you can get the messaging out there! See flyer attached here.

    Navigating Digitisation for the Tech Terrified

    Thursday 16th November, 1pm-4:15pm @ Thame Barns Centre, Thame, OX9 3AJ

    Perfect for providers who are early on in their digital journey and want to know more about how and why they should move forwards with digitisation. We’ll cover everything from the basics of data and cyber security, to how digitisation is linked to regulation and the all important CQC inspections. As well as hearing real life examples of how digitisation has transformed other adult social care businesses.

    Guest Speakers include: CQC National Regulatory Policy Managers, DataGuard – Data & Cyber security Specialists, BOB ICB Digital Social Care Records Team.

    Walk Through the Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) – in-person workshop

    Wednesday 22nd November 2023, 11am – 2pm @ Thame Barns Centre, Thame, OX9 3AJ

    Providers can bring their laptop and work through the toolkit question by question whilst enjoying some tasty refreshments. This is a chance for providers to complete their toolkit as much as they can and take away a tailored action plan to help them complete it in their own time.
