“For decades, healthcare has focused on treating people after they become sick – but this approach is costing lives. The future of healthcare is prevention, and partnerships like this are how we'll get there.”

“Physical technology like robotics can drastically expand our capacity to care. Cera's robots boost care teams' capacity by 20%, allowing our hard-working staff to support more people, while saving our local authority partners up to £11,500 annually per patient.”

“My concern is that we will spend the next few years debating how much money social care needs, without fundamentally changing the way care is actually delivered.”

“For a frail older person, spending weeks on a ward increases the risk of hospital-acquired infections, long-term health deterioration, and loss of mobility. The real tragedy is that thousands of these patients shouldn't be there in the first place.”

“actively worked to recruit more older workers and have been glad to see more over-50s applying for jobs at Cera, whether coming from retirement, or looking for a career change”

“Today's 18-24s will make up the backbone, not just of our future economy - but also of our future health and care workforce. Any investment we make now in skills, support and pathways into work - both for young people, and for any groups who are out of work - is an investment in critical social infrastructure for generations to come.”

“Ultimately, given the severe workforce challenges across the sector, the alternative to AI and robotics isn't human care; for millions right now, the alternative is no care at all.”
