Bield Housing and Care has celebrated an awards hattrick in recognition of its transition to digital telecare.

The housing and care specialist was awarded the Gold Level Two Digital Telecare Implementation Award in recognition of its rollout of live digital telecare to 82% of its homes.

Bield was also awarded the Technology Enabled Independent Living Award at the 2024 Digital Health & Care awards organised by Holyrood Connect.

In addition, chief executive, Dr Lynne Douglas, was the winner of the Strategic Leader award at the 2024 International Technology Enabled Care (ITEC) Awards.

Debbie Collins, chief operating officer, said: “At Bield, we’re always striving to improve customer experience and satisfaction while growing our use of modern, in-home technologies to support independent living.

“I’m tremendously proud of what the team have already achieved in upgrading thousands of homes to digital in a short timeframe. All three award wins are well-deserved thanks to their tireless efforts and expertise.”

Bield said it remained on track to hit 100% digital enablement across its properties by April 2024.
