Countdown Campaign - 6 Months to go: Is your Migration on Track?

Blog. Digital Telecare. 31.07.2026

With the January 2027 analogue switch-off fast approaching, the final stages of digital telecare migration are now in sight. While many organisations have made significant progress, the months ahead remain critical for completing service user migrations, addressing any remaining risks, and ensuring services are fully prepared for a digital future.

To support this work, we've developed a new Digital Telecare Migration Readiness Checklist, designed to help Telecare Service Providers, local authorities, housing providers and partner organisations assess their readiness and focus on the actions that matter most. The checklist covers key areas including service user migration, equipment and infrastructure, ARC readiness, communications and engagement, housing considerations, and future service development.

More than just a readiness exercise, the checklist also encourages organisations to look beyond migration and consider how digital telecare can create opportunities for innovation, improved data insights, and better outcomes for the people who rely on these services every day.

As part of our monthly countdown campaign to January 2027, we encourage organisations to download the checklist, review their current position, and identify any actions that need to be prioritised over the coming months. The sooner risks and dependencies are identified, the more time there is to put plans in place and ensure a smooth transition.

Download the checklist today and take the next step towards a successful digital telecare transition.
