Imosphere’s 2022 Highlights
The education and health and social care sectors entered 2022 with anticipation of better times. In health and social care, policies were proposed and designed to better live with Covid-19, to build back better. And the government’s green paper on the future of special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and alternative provision (AP) looked promising.
Increasing resource and capacity while improving culture have been key areas of progress and opportunity for Imosphere and the work we have achieved alongside local authorities within the education, health and social care sectors. Together we stand at a defining crossroads where there is the possibility for new and bold ways of working and increased sustainability.
The right technology and tools can be leveraged to help improve the way education, health and social care operate by speeding up processes, improving productivity, reducing errors, and enabling more flexible operations and use of resources (people and monetary). Imosphere closes the year reflecting positively on the impact we have had in our space, and looking forward to continued success and evolution alongside our clients.
