Digital Webinar Dates
Are you ready to move from Analogue to Digital?
The switch over from analogue to digital inevitable. The deadline for transitioning from analogue to digital telecommunications networks is December 2025.

It aims to transform adult social care through digital innovation, as set out in the 2021 government white paper, People at the Heart of Care. This work is further shaped by DHSC’s ongoing commitment to support digitisation of the sector outlined in the 2023 Next Steps paper.
