Feros Care shares-all at its first Smart Technology Bootcamp

A two-day industry conference to introduce and improve Aged and Community Care providers’ use of smart technologies has been announced by Feros Care.

The Smart Technologies Bootcamp, to be held on 27 and 28 August at the Twin Towns Services Club in Tweed Heads, will hold workshops across two days and share knowledge on technological advances within the aged and community care sector.

Aged care provider Feros Care, winner of the Best Organisation category at the 2014 Aged & Community Services Australia’s National Awards for Excellence, believes collaboration is the key to providing innovative aged care models and is hosting the event to enable the transfer of information and to help build capability in the use of smart technologies of all industry stakeholders.

“Feros Care is committed to using technology and making a positive contribution to the reshaping service provision in aged care and providing modern innovative options for healthy ageing, independent living and workforce modernisation,” said Ms Buckley.

‘We expect aged and community providers from across Australia and internationally will join in on Feros Care’s first technology bootcamp. The workshops will allow industry professionals to discuss a wide variety of scenarios and how to apply new and existing tools to transform their current service and workforce models.”

A networking event will be held on the evening of Wednesday 26 August. Workshops over the two days will include:
• Practical guides to existing technologies
