Abstract

The Digital Innovation in Social Care – Industry Engagement Workshop (June 2025) brought together 51 participants from industry, academia, health, and social care sectors to explore priorities and opportunities for digital transformation in Scotland’s social care system. The workshop identified systemic barriers to scaling innovation, including fragmented leadership, limited data integration, and lack of clear investment guidance. Participants emphasised the importance of creating readiness for change, fostering knowledge exchange, and aligning digital strategy with frontline practice. Key themes included building a digital innovation pipeline, promoting interoperability, supporting workforce capability, and embedding inclusive, ethical digital practices. Insights from the workshop will inform the development of a national Digital Care Innovation Hub to drive collaboration and sustainable transformation.
