About us

TSA aims to promote and support the telecare industry and highlight the benefits of telecare for service commissioners, service users and their friends, family and carers. TSA is a not-for-profit, membership based organisation wholly owned by its members.TSA has almost 300 members, primarily from Local Authorities, Registered Social Landlords and private sector suppliers. TSA members give support to the majority of the 1.5 million service users who benefit from telecare in the UK.

TSA works closely with the Government and devolved authorities. In England TSA played a pivotal role in the Telecare Policy Collaborative which resulted in the development of the Building Telecare in England strategy published in 2005. TSA is also helping the Welsh Assembly to deliver its Telecare Strategy and works with the Scottish Executive in the delivery of its Telecare Development Programme.

TSA works closely with the Department for Trade and Industry advising on issues facing UK commercial businesses in this sector. The Association has been invited to help inform the longer term priorities for technical and infrastructure development to help UKplc build on its lead in this field.
