See beyond one visit.
A single note gives you a moment, not a direction. Veritrend reads across visits and surfaces patterns for team review in everyday wellbeing signals.
Care Show Birmingham · 7–8 October 2026
The record is thinner than the care.
Your carers see more than the record shows. Ask for a fuller note at the end of a thirty-minute call and you have added unpaid admin to a day that is already full.
Veritrend captures the visit on a pendant, drafts the note for the carer to check and confirm, and reads across every visit and every carer for the pattern no single note shows.
If we met at the show — this is the five-minute version of what I showed you.

The numbers
What is writing up notes actually costing you?
These defaults are published benchmarks. Replace them with yours.
Start anywhere between 3 and 10 minutes and replace it with your own measure. DHSC estimates digital records give back at least 20 minutes per care worker per shift.
Wage plus on-costs. Skills for Care put the median hourly rate for an independent-sector care worker at £12.00 as at December 2024.
What an hour of care earns when there's demand to fill it.
Assumption: Veritrend removes 50% of per-visit admin time
Visible on purpose. Adjust if you want a more or less conservative model.

Visits-equivalent
Roughly 181 extra half-hour visits a week
…from the same team, if you chose to use every hour that way.
And that's only the measurable half — cross-visit trends, sponsor-licence alerts, reablement evidence and the strength of your CQC evidence base are valued with you in the full assessment.
Honest note
Released time is capacity, not automatic cash. Some of it becomes more visits, some becomes better care and less burnout — independent evaluations warn against counting saved minutes as instant savings. That's why stage one of our delivery is measuring your baseline, so the ROI you take to your board is yours, not ours.Why we're here
Three things we're trying to do.
Give carers their time back.
Writing up notes after a shift takes time away from carers. The pendant drafts a visit note for the carer to check and confirm.
Show what care achieves.
Commissioning is moving towards outcomes while care is still bought by the minute. A clearer record helps teams show the work behind the visit.
Non-clinical by design: everyday wellbeing signals only — nutrition, hydration, pain, mobility and falls, skin integrity, mood and wellbeing, and continence. Veritrend works alongside your care management system — Access, Birdie, PASS, Nourish or Log my Care — not in place of it.
