The Business of Care Podcast
A podcast from CareLineLive for people working at the intersection of technology, quality and leadership in health and social care.
Each episode brings together the experts, practitioners and innovators shaping what outstanding care looks like in practice – and gets into the data, the tools, the thinking and the decisions behind it.
About the Podcast
This isn’t a podcast about software
It’s a podcast about the people and ideas that make care work – and the technology that, when it’s done right, quietly supports them.
The conversations that matter most in our sector rarely make it out of conference rooms and care team meetings. The questions providers are wrestling with: how to measure quality fairly, what AI can actually do versus what vendors claim, how to move from reactive compliance to genuinely continuous improvement – deserve a proper airing.
Each episode brings together experts, innovators and practitioners to explore what it really takes to deliver outstanding care. We get into the data, the tools, the thinking and the decisions that shape how care is delivered on the ground.
Hosted by Marie Page, Head of Marketing at CareLineLive
Who this is for
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place:
- You run or manage a homecare service, care home or supported living provider
- You work in quality, governance or compliance in adult social care
- You’re part of an integrated care system, local authority or NHS trust thinking about technology and outcomes
- You’re building or evaluating software for health and social care
- You’re interested in where data, regulation and care delivery intersect
You don’t need to be a technologist. You just need to care about making care better.
What we cover
The Business of Care explores the questions that don’t have easy answers:
- Quality benchmarking – what good looks like, how to measure it fairly, and what the data actually shows
- AI in care – where it genuinely helps, where it’s being oversold, and what responsible adoption looks like
- Leadership and culture – building organisations where people do their best work and care comes first
- Regulation and compliance – what regulators are really looking for and how to move beyond box-ticking
- Workforce – the persistent pressures providers face and what’s being done about them
- Commissioning and the public sector – how local authorities and NHS commissioners are shaping care delivery
- The future of care technology – what integration, interoperability and data-driven care really mean in practice
