Better Care Systems Workshop Sheffield CANCELLED

Doteveryone's Better Care Systems Project, in partnership with the ESRC Sustainable Care programme at the University of Sheffield, are running a workshop to explore how we can build better care systems that work for everyone in a future of robots, exoskeletons, and smart homes.

We believe that technology cannot replace human care, but used well it could support radical social and structural change, taking us towards a future care system that is sustainable, fair and effective. We need the best of technology but also new approaches to workforce development, to supporting families who care, and to building resilient caring communities.

This one-day workshop is a chance for people working in the care sector and related tech industries to think creatively and radically about a future in which care, care work, and care relationships are better valued and understood, to get inspired and reflect on how we can work towards a better system.

You do not need to bring anything except your experience of caring, the care sector and/or technology-enabled care and a willingness to think hopefully and creatively.

The venue, the Jessop Building in Sheffield university, is fully accessible, and a 20 minute walk from the railway station. If you need a taxi for that journey portion for accessibility reasons we can also pay for this.
