Social Care Working Group
Our Social Care Working Group brings together techUK members and representatives from across the social care ecosystem to tackle the challenges facing adult social care. We explore how technology can deliver better outcomes for people, providers and the wider health and care system.
The group is facilitated by our Local Public Services and Health and Social Care programmes and provides a trusted forum for open discussion, collaboration and collective problem-solving. Members range from one-person consultancies and SMEs to large technology suppliers, alongside voices from across policy, commissioning and care delivery.
This group is open to all techUK members.

What we focus on
The group identifies practical, deliverable ways that digital technology can support reform in adult social care, improve integration with the NHS, and enable prevention-led, community-based models of care. We help members share insight, shape policy thinking and engage constructively with national and local stakeholders.
Our core areas of focus are:
building on our Five Point Plan for CareTech
engagement and collaboration with local and national social care organisations and professionals
integration between social care and the NHS
evaluating the use of technology and data in social care
interoperability in social care, including standards.
Our priorities for 2026
This year, our programme of work is more ambitious and outcomes-driven, including:
developing a major Reimagining CareTech white paper, setting out how digitally enabled adult social care can unlock the ambitions of the NHS 10-Year Plan
supporting evidence-gathering and engagement with national bodies, including DHSC-led work on interoperability and reform
convening providers and industry through practical workshops, networking sessions and solution showcases
delivering our Adult Social Care Week.
