Telecare provision is considered in relation to: the importance of good needs and risk assessment; ethical aspects; care and support; and issues particular to carers. It includes case studies, an outline training programme, and examples of equipment. This is one of four publications funded by the Scottish Government's National Telecare Development Programme. The books are primarily aimed at assessors, care and support staff and their managers, telecare service managers and development staff. (RH).
