Digital Care in Focus is a new series of campaigns from the Digital Care Hub – starting in January 2026.
Each month, we explore a priority theme, bringing together emerging evidence, practice-based insight, lived experience and system intelligence. Our focus is on translating complex digital, legal and policy developments into plain English, grounded in the realities of care and people’s rights.
Get involved in the discussion and share your views on social media using #DigitalCareInFocus.

Innovation in digital tech and data
January 2026
Innovation in digital technology and data is about deliberately trying new or different ways of using technology or information to improve outcomes, particularly where existing approaches are no longer enough. It involves testing ideas, learning from experience and being willing to take proportionate, informed risks.
Throughout January 2026, we will be sharing insights and ideas on innovation.
- Week 1: What is innovation in digital tech and data?
- Case study: Simplifying Outstanding CQC Compliance with IMPAQT for Care
- Webinar: Care-led innovation: Celebrating home-grown technology in social care – 28 January 2026, 1 – 2.30pm Join fellow care providers who have taken digital innovation a step further. When suitable off-the-shelf solutions didn’t exist, they designed and developed their own tools and systems.
Future themes
- Interoperability – February 2026
- Difficult conversations about data and tech – March 2026
