Artificial Intelligence (AI) is impacting on all sectors, and care is no exception.

In this special Care Home Management magazine podcast we discuss how AI is both an opportunity and a challenge for care homes.

AI has the potential to improve care-giving and the care business, but there are risks around data privacy, bias and the need not to ignore human oversight of any decisions made using the technology.

Join our expert panel of Tandeep Gill, head of business development at Painchek; Katie Thorn, project lead at Digital Care Hub and Simon Beck, founder of Care homemarketingexpert.com.

Our panel help to identify key problems and barriers faced by staff, and assess how AI could help address them.

Care homes can save time and money by digitalising their administration and, in future, having a better understanding of how artificial intelligence will change the care sector.

In our latest podcast ‘Digital Top Tip for Care Homes in 2025’ our experts discuss how care homes have reached different levels of maturity when it comes to digital transformation.

James Maynard, director of product marketing at Access Group, says providers want more integration between the systems they buy and to use data more effectively.

Iain Corrigan, commercial director at CoolCare, agrees that integration is essential to convince care homes to invest more in digital.

Also on the panel is Kate Roberts, managing director of Neuven, who says there is still work to do to convince care homes of the full benefits of going digital.

“Go to work on an egg” – perfect advice for care homes

The humble British egg has had a tough time of it in the last thirty years or more.

But the British egg is back in a big way. Packed with protein and vitamins but no sugar, it is playing a vital part on the care home menu – both as a cooked item in its own right or as part of dishes such as ice cream, cakes and mayonnaise.

In this special podcast we talk to British Lion Eggs about the importance of protein in residents' diets. Many residents are of an age where they remember how good eggs can be for their health.

Join food safety and hygiene specialist, Dr Lisa Ackerley and specialist older person’s dietitian, Alison Smith as they discuss how the protein provided by eggs helps older people in care homes guard against some of the problems increasing frailty can bring.

Of course, eggs must be cooked properly!
