Is your organisation ready for the digital switchover?
With the 31st January 2027 digital switchover deadline getting closer, this practical, sector-focused workshop will bring together service providers and housing professionals to share their experience of the analogue to digital transition so far.
Designed specifically for those working in independent living and sheltered housing, the session will look at the progress being made across the sector, what organisations are learning from implementation and the practical considerations for keeping telecare, alarms and other essential systems working effectively through the transition.
We are delighted to be joined by representatives from Careline 365, Legrand Care and Alertacall, alongside Platform Housing Group, who will share their own experience of the transition from a housing provider perspective.
There will also be time at the end of the session for attendees to put their questions directly to the speakers.
