Is Your Care Sector Prepared for Tomorrow’s Challenges?

From workforce pressures to rising expectations, here are the key issues shaping care today.

• CQC inspections are tightening, with more unannounced visits and deeper focus on evidence of learning and improvement.

• Staff turnover remains high, making it harder to maintain consistent quality.

• Complex care needs are rising, from dementia to long-term conditions, demanding stronger training and compliance systems.

Most providers are focusing on these three priorities to meet today’s care expectations. Are you?

• Evidence everything: CQC is asking to see how lessons are learned from incidents and feedback. Tools that record, track, and link outcomes to training can make inspections less stressful.

• Simplify compliance: Policies, audits and training records spread across paper and spreadsheets take time to manage. Centralising them reduces admin and risk.

• Support staff learning: With limited time and budgets, blended and flexible learning keeps staff motivated and engaged, while helping them meet CPD requirements effectively and efficiently.

Policies Made Simple

This month, we’ve rolled out Adam AI, your intelligent assistant for policy management.

• Automatically generates draft policies tailored to your setting.

• Supports human-in-the-loop approval, ensuring every policy is safe, accurate, and CQC-ready.

• Mobile-friendly access so staff can read and acknowledge policies in real time. True compliance, without the complexity.

Upcomig: THE BUZZ

Get ready for our brand-new podcast: The Buzz.

This podcast will bring insights, stories and practical advice to all care sectors.

New CPD-Accredited Courses

We’ve added three specialist courses this month, areas rarely covered by competitors, but vital for care providers:

• Handling Information

• DoLS (Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards)

• LOLER (Lifting Operations & Lifting Equipment Regulations)

Integrations & Partnerships

We’re excited to announce new integrations with 20x and Xycare, making it easier to:

• Share compliance data seamlessly across platforms.

• Reduce duplication of records for training and policies.

• Give managers a single, joined-up view of learning and risk.

This is part of our commitment to interoperability, helping providers cut admin while strengthening governance.

Events Recap

Future Health 2025 – Key Takeaways

At Future Health 2025, we joined healthcare leaders exploring innovation across digital, workforce, and regulation.

What stood out for social care providers:

• Integration is critical: Siloed systems increase risk. Shared data across HR, compliance, and care records is now expected, not optional.

• Evidence matters: Both regulators and commissioners want to see a clear audit trail linking staff training, policy updates, and incident learning.

• Workforce wellbeing is tied to digital: Platforms that cut paperwork give staff back time for care, reducing stress and turnover.

What’s Next

Looking ahead to October:

• The first episodes of The Buzz podcast will be dropping.

• More specialist CPD courses are on the way.

• Adam AI enhancements, including deeper interoperability and new compliance features.
