As part of the council's commitment to be a 'digital leader across Dorset', Adult services are investigating new ways to deliver services for people who access care and support from us. The 'Better Commissioning for A Better Life' strategy sets out our vision for how we will achieve this.
Self service
Access to good information and advice, and choice and control for residents enabled by the opportunity to manage their own care planning and budgeting online through a responsive, modern and intuitive interface.
Interoperability
Making the integrated care system a seamless reality by building on past successes such as the Dorset Care Record, so that data exchange is better supported and commissioning ‘for place’ becomes a reality.
Technology-enabled care
Changing the offer, and deploying technology to enhance independence, increase the richness of life experience and connectedness, and facilitate community living for more
people and for longer.
How you can help
We are looking for volunteers who are interested in how we deliver digital services, how they will be used by the people we support and what solutions we might want to use in the future. This is an exciting opportunity that will put you at the heart of our digital plans and give you the ability to influence how we make our services accessible for everyone.
At the moment we need help to test our website to make sure that it is easy to use and that the information we provide is clear and accessible.
We are particularly interested if you:
- are retired
- have a disability
- find it difficult to use our website
- are thinking about finding support for yourself or a family member
Sign up to help us test our website
Sign up to become a user tester if you or a family member receives care and support from Adult services or if you are a Dorset resident that has an interest in how we deliver our information and advice.
