Embracing New Technologies in Specialised Care

At the Hesley Group, we’re investing in the future of care, building a digital ecosystem that supports long-term quality, innovation, and person-centred outcomes.

From AI-enabled pain detection with PainChek, to digital workforce management with Sona, and cashless payments through Soldo, technology is helping us deliver safer and more efficient services. Alongside this, our Camascope platform supports digital medication management, while our bespoke CRM system strengthens relationships with families and commissioners.

We have also introduced our new Outcomes App, designed to track and celebrate progress, and WeAreHG, our internal communications platform that keeps colleagues connected and informed.
For us, innovation is not about technology for technology’s sake, it is about creating smarter, safer, and more responsive services that put people first.

Some of our colleagues and people supported at Low Laithes had a fabulous day during a recent trip to Blue John Mine! This was new activity for everyone, we took the 245 steps as a challenge and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of the cavern.

A few of our colleagues enjoyed it so much that they're planning to go back and take their children to visit 🙂

Providing early introduction into potential career paths in social care!

Representatives from our Recruitment & Workforce Development Teams were out and about again earlier this week, this time they headed to Barnsley Metrodome where they attended the ‘We Care Into The Future’ event .

The event was aimed at high schools to attend with students aged 13-16 to meet employers in the Health and Social Care sector. The idea being to give the students an early introduction into potential career paths within the sector which may then influence their GCSE choices, college course choices, and later on, the career path they choose.
