Last chance for care homes to apply for a free iPad
Published on 19 October 2020
Care homes have until 23 October 2020 to apply for a free iPad (if applicable also a free 12 months data sim) using this NHSX form.
The iPads are being prioritised for eligible care homes with the greatest need. The aim is to ensure that everyone living in a care home in England can access video consultations and remote care when needed.
The tablets will also allow staff to access NHSmail and other tools or systems needed to support care, as well as to connect people with their loved ones.
