- Building on techUK's Five Point Plan for CareTech
- Engagement and collaboration with local and national social care organisations and professionals
- Integration between social care and the NHS
- Evaluating the use of technology and data in social care

Chair and Vice-chair
Helena Zaum
Helena Zaum
Helena has over 20 years experience working within the technology sector, aligned to public sector and health and social care. Helena’s work has a specific focus on ensuring services are collaborating effectively to support better outcomes for people in their day to day lives – as they move through services provided by various different agencies. Helena is currently the Chief Commercial Officer for Sentinel Partners (a data and AI specialist), prior to which she worked for Microsoft and Accenture. Helena firmly believes that the future health and wellbeing of the NHS and the population of the UK as a whole depends on much better integration with social care services, local government and local communities.
