We are taking a bold, exciting approach so that together we can drive consistent, high quality, person-centred and innovative support to those that need it. Technology Enables Care is key to the success of this new approach and is critical to the Authority's vision for the social care and health landscape in Kent to harness the positive impact digital technology can have to enable independent living and optimise a person's outcomes whilst reducing the demand for care and support.
