The Social Care Summit NORTH 2025 was a fantastic event, bringing together sector leaders, operators, and innovators to discuss the future of social care. At Candesic, we were thrilled to take part in these critical conversations and connect with so many passionate individuals driving change in the sector.

A few key themes resonated throughout the discussions:
✅ Resident-led care: At the heart of social care is the resident. Ensuring care is truly patient-led remains a priority for providers and policymakers alike.

✅ Empowering staff: Social care is a people-first sector, and its success depends on a supported and fulfilled workforce. Addressing staff well-being, both physically and mentally, is crucial for retention and quality of care.

✅ Technology as an enabler: While digitalisation in the sector is still in its early stages, adopting and investing in technology is vital, as it can significantly enhance resident safety, improve staff efficiency, and help operators sustain their businesses in an evolving financial landscape.

A huge thank you to everyone we met and spoke with—we look forward to continuing these discussions.
