Let’s talk about technology enabled care: safety, prevention and independence at home through a TEC lens
As health and social care services continue to evolve, Technology Enabled Care (TEC) is playing an increasingly important role in supporting people to live safely, independently, and confidently in their own homes. This webinar will explore how digital solutions, remote monitoring, telecare, and connected technologies can enhance person-centred care, improve outcomes, and support proactive intervention.
The session will showcase practical examples of TEC in action, discuss implementation challenges and opportunities, and highlight how technology can complement clinical expertise while empowering individuals and their families.

Enhancing healthcare consultations and interventions: Using a coaching approach for effective patient engagement
Recent research shows that occupational therapy intervention is essential to support healthy ageing and adults living with chronic conditions who have difficulties performing daily activities (Hagelskjær et al. 2024). Equally, physiotherapy is crucial in supporting better physical health for older adults with and without chronic health conditions (Liu et al 2024). Supporting clients to self-manage their health is essential, but this requires specific approaches and communication styles, such as coaching. Join us for this webinar, which introduces how to use a coaching approach to enhance client engagement and intervention.
Practical assistive technology in elderly care: safe and smart solutions
This one-hour webinar will provide a practical, clinically focused overview of assistive technology options ranging from mainstream devices to affordable specialist equipment. The session will explore equipment that can promote safety without compromising independence.
Participants will leave with a clearer clinical reasoning framework for matching technology to clinical needs, enabling more confident and cost-effective recommendations in both community and residential settings.
Fatigue management with Ciara Breen
This session provides a practical introduction to the role of Occupational Therapy in fatigue management. It explores key assessments used to support intervention in clinical populations experiencing fatigue, alongside strategies such as the “4Ps” of energy conservation and pacing approaches to help prevent post-exertional malaise.
The session also highlights the importance of rest and sleep in achieving better occupational balance, while addressing common challenges in applying these strategies in practice. In addition, participants will gain an understanding of key red flags that may require further investigation, and why certain clinical populations need tailored approaches to fatigue management.
