Telecare eNewsletter March 2015
Important news on newsletter future
Welcome to the March 2015 newsletter from Innovate UK (previously Technology Strategy Board), Knowledge Transfer Network and the Telecare Learning and Improvement Network.
March 2015 is the last Telecare LIN newsletter (opens new window)supported by Innovate UK, KTN Ltd and the Assisted Living Innovation Platform and we would like to thank them for their support in recent years.
Going forward we need your support. To maintain a comprehensive monthly news summary going out to over 48,000 people, we are looking to crowdsource funding to support the website, content and hundreds of links and journal article references (opens new window)each month. We are currently looking for a number of organisations to support continuing production (including supplements, Twitter stream (opens new window), archive (opens new window)) at around the £5k level per year. The news service, currently in its tenth year is recognised as an authoritative source and valuable resource in the UK and in other parts of the world working on digital health, telehealth, mHealth, telemedicine and telecare.
Many people also value the extensive coverage of UK health and care policy as well as regular site listings and supplements (eg telehealth (opens new window), dementia (opens new window), long term conditions (opens new window)). This is, therefore, an opportunity not to be missed if your organisation would like to be associated with the sector-leading newsletter and our successful brand. You can email j.porteus@telecarelin.org.uk (opens new window)for details.
In the meantime, we will be providing a limited 'headline only' service for registered members of the website whilst we establish whether or not the crowdfunding approach is successful over the next three months. If you are interested in contributing to the future success of this important and highly valued news service at a time when digital health, care and wellbeing are making the headlines on a daily basis then contact us.
You can still follow Mike Clark on Twitter (@clarkmike together with summaries on Storify (opens new window)and Rebelmouse (opens new window)).
Also available this month - 2 supplements:
