The Shared ARC Programme
In November 2021, the Digital Citizen Board approved the National Telecare Business Plan, signifying a major milestone in our commitment to improving telecare services ahead of the analogue to digital switchover.
One of the most pivotal recommendations within this comprehensive plan was the national procurement of a cutting-edge Shared ARC Platform. This platform is intended to be used within existing ARCs to provide a wide range of shared benefits and potential efficiencies.
Following extensive sector engagement and an official endorsement from the Scottish Government in February 2022, we successfully secured the necessary funding. This paved the way for the official launch of the Shared ARC Programme in March 2022.
