Technology for our Ageing Population: Panel for Innovation (TAPPI) phase 2 announced

TAPPI - Phase 2

From Principles to Implementation

Following the successful publication of the 'Technology for our Ageing Population: Panel for Innovation' (TAPPI) Inquiry report in October 2021, we are delighted to announce the launch of a second phase of the programme funded by the Dunhill Medical Trust (DMT) and supported by the Housing LIN and TEC Services Association (TSA).

TAPPI Phase 2 will ensure that the evidence gathered by the Inquiry in Phase 1 is built upon and used to create widely accepted Framework which embeds the recommended TAPPI Principles within a transformational change programme. This will be achieved by developing and testing supportive guidance and tools in four live “locality testbeds”. We hope that these can then be used as “exemplars” to catalyse nationwide adoption through engagement from the “ground up”.

In short, we intend to test what is possible and challenge what is perceived to be impossible, building upon the learning gathered during the pandemic and creating new housing service models using technology enabled care, with personalisation at its heart that, simply, delivers better outcomes for people, because it is co-designed by them.

What will DMT fund?

Call for proposals for Co-production and Engagement partner

Co-production is one of TAPPI’s key principles. The programme will be co-produced with stakeholders in the four successful locations over a 12-15-month period.

To support the delivery of the programme DMT are seeking applications for a Co-Production and Engagement Partner to work with us and the locality testbeds to ensure the views of people who draw on services both current and future, their families and carers and housing organisations are reflected in the programme and the Framework.

The deadline for receipt of applications is 18 March 2022 at 5:00pm.

Evaluation and Shared Learning Partner

In mid-March DMT will also be opening a call for an Evaluation and Shared Learning Partner to work with key stakeholders to create a qualitative and quantitative benefits evaluation methodology and framework, capturing data in real-time and evaluating during the programme as well as reporting the overall evaluation at the end of the programme. Further details on how to apply will be shared with Housing LIN members in due time.
