We are proud supporters of the Department of Health’s 3millionlives campaign.

The 3millionlives campaign:

The Department of Health (DH) believes that at least three million people with long term conditions and/or social care needs could benefit from the use of telehealth and telecare services. Implemented effectively as part of a whole system redesign of care, telehealth and telecare can alleviate pressure on long term NHS costs and improve people’s quality of life through better self-care in the home setting. On 19th January, Paul Burstow, Minister for Care Services committed to work with industry, to support the NHS, social care and professional partners in 3millionlives in order to achieve this level of change.

A Concordat supporting this commitment was also published.

3millionlives objectives:

• For DH and industry to work together over the next 5 years to develop the market and remove barriers to delivery.
• For DH to create the right environment to support the uptake of telehealth and telecare including rewarding organisations for adopting and integrating these technologies in services by developing a tariff.
• For industry to work with the NHS, social care and other stakeholders to simplify procurement and commissioning processes for telehealth and telecare services at scale.
• To put the NHS and UK industry at the forefront of telehealth and telecare globally, developing significant opportunities for UK plc.
• To promote the benefits that telehealth and telecare services can provide people in managing their health and care.
