Starting with Social Care: To have a Whole System Impact

The practical report aligned to England’s 10-Year Health Plan

Lasting transformation across health and care starts with proactive care, according to consistent data and research. The report, Starting with Social Care to Have a Whole System Impact, sets out how proactive care technology can deliver a double dividend across the system, improving outcomes for people while relieving pressure on stretched services.

Aligned to the 10-Year Health Plan for England, the report shows how investing in social care first enables earlier intervention, smarter commissioning and more sustainable models of care.

The report explores how proactive, data-led home care technology can:

  • Help people stay safely and independently at home, reducing avoidable crises
  • Reduce pressure on hospitals and primary care through earlier insight and prevention
  • Unlock capacity in community and social care teams, enabling more targeted support

This is the shift national policy calls for — moving from reactive responses to proactive, preventative care, delivered closer to home.

Whether you are shaping system strategy, commissioning services or leading transformation, this report provides a clear, evidence-based case for starting with social care to achieve whole-system impact.
