EDITOR'S VOICE Editor’s Voice Hello and welcome to the February/March issue of Tomorrow’s Care.


First off, although we’re now two months in, a very happy new year to all our readers. There’s plenty on the agenda for Tomorrow’s Care in 2024. We have a new editorial calendar, some fresh faces delivering the quality insight you’re used to, and we will continue to deliver the best content for the care industry. We do hope you enjoy all the things we have planned and stick with us throughout the year – it promises to be a good one.


The proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) over the course of the past two years has been astounding. Developments in AI are moving so fast that it can feel hard to keep up. In our leading feature section on Technology & Soſtware this month, Katie Thorn, Project Lead at Digital Care Hub, delves into the world of generative AI in social care. Although the technology has the potential to change the sector for good, there are many considerations industry leaders must look into to ensure it is used safely. In the article, she argues that approaching this revolutionary technology with a balanced perspective will be paramount in getting it right. Do check out her full thoughts on this burgeoning topic on page 14.


We also take a deep-dive into Dementia Care this month, with Food for the Brain looking at whether there are ways of preventing the disease by targeting risk factors under our control, and The Royal Alfred Seafarers’ Society, discussing the importance of specialised dementia care and some of the ways the Society supports residents living with dementia.
