With a fairly crowded marketplace, and with a variety of small, medium and large providers, it is hard to know where to start and what to look for when choosing a digital care management system. The aim of this article is to help care service managers ask the right questions, as well as providing some examples of what care service managers should be looking for when looking at digital care management systems for the first time, or when planning a change from one digital system to another.

On 27 April 2022 the Divisional Court of the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court ruled that the Government committed an unlawful act in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic when it directed that thousands of hospital patients should be transferred to care homes without being checked for infection. This direction was a response to the massive pressure on hospital beds caused by the unexpected onset and rapid spread of the virus. John Finch examines the circumstances which led to this decision being made and the reasons why the courts ruled it as unlawful.
