Discover how Realise is supporting Adult Social Care careers through 100% funded learning.
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) aims for 80% of CQC-registered providers to adopt digital social care records (DSCRs) by March 2026.
It's no secret that digital skills are becoming a must-have skill in adult social care - but we know that change can feel overwhelming. At Realise, we’ve designed our learning programmes to make digital learning easy, relevant, and part of everyday care activities.
Digital First Learning Delivery
Our courses don’t teach digital skills as a separate topic. Instead, we embed digital learning throughout, helping care workers use technology naturally in their day-to-day roles. Whether it’s navigating digital care records, using apps for medication management, or understanding new tech tools, our training builds confidence step-by-step.
We support care teams and leaders to embrace digital change together. By embedding digital skills into our adult care training programmes, we help organisations transform their culture, not just introduce new tech. This means digital becomes part of the way care is delivered, improving efficiency and outcomes for everyone.
Helping Adult Social Care Embrace Digital Change
We know that digital skills are becoming essential in adult social care, but we also understand that change can feel overwhelming. That’s why our TQUK Health and Social Care Diploma programmes make digital learning part of everyday training, not an extra task. Digital learning becomes contextualised and helps adult care staff apply digital practice to real life scenarios.
Our experienced trainers devise learning and assessments to help learners feel confident using technology in their day-to-day roles. For example:
- Digital Care Records – Learner’s practice updating electronic care plans and recording information online, just like they would at work.
- Medication Apps – Our courses cover how to use eMAR (electronic medication records) to improve accuracy and safety.
- Assistive Technology – Learners explore digital tools like fall detectors or telecare systems that support people to live safely and independently.
- Team Communication – We encourage learners to use digital tools like Microsoft Teams or messaging apps to keep in touch with colleagues.
- Online Learning and Development – Learners build their confidence using our online platforms such as OneFile and Skills Builder, to track their progress, complete reflections, and plan their personal development.
A Partnership Approach
We work closely with care leaders and managers to guide their teams towards a better adoption of technology, helping organisations harness the power of digitisation in an applied adult care setting, becoming second nature and part of their everyday culture.
With Realise, digital transformation isn’t a hurdle - it’s an opportunity that can be achieved with minimal interruption to your service. All our learning programmes (extending beyond adult care) empower the whole workforce to feel ready and supported to take on digitisation.
