IMPACT is a new UK centre that wants to make adult social care services better for people who use them. DHCNI is coordinating IMPACT in Northern Ireland.
We are looking for people to join a local Network to consider how technology can be used to help people be more independent or prevent harm.
Everyone who takes part will have their voice heard and influence change and you don’t need to have any qualifications: you may already use technology or be thinking of using it, you may care for someone that does, or you may have had problems using it, for example. Or you may be considering providing it to others.
The Network held its first meeting in September and will meet 3 times more from October 2024 to February 2025.
Each meeting will last 2 ½ hours and will be held at the Clayton Hotel, Belfast.
You will also need time to read materials that you’ll be given before each meeting.
Light refreshments will be provided.
Individuals who take part will be offered a payment of £75 per session and may also claim back their expenses (e.g. travel, the cost of a personal assistant or replacement care).
APPLY HERE TO TAKE PART IN AN IMPACT NETWORK.

Closing date: 18th October 2024.
