Public Policy Projects, Tunstall UK release joint TECS study finding growth during pandemic, recommendations

September 18, 2020 | by

Weekend reading. Public Policy Projects and Tunstall Healthcare UK & Ireland have released a joint study finding, unsurprisingly but encouragingly, that the usage of technology-enabled care services (TECS) has accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. The nine-part, 62-page study electronically available here examines TECS through case studies in England, Scotland, and Wales as well as in France, Sweden, and especially Spain. There is a worthwhile examination of the types of TECS currently existing, a look back at the Whole System Demonstrator (WSD), barriers to adoption, and recommendations for policy going forward. ECHAlliance/Tunstall release.

Tunstall UK also won the ‘Leading Innovators in Assisted Living Technology 2020’ award at the Healthcare & Pharmaceutical Awards 2020, and the ‘Best Non-Clinical Equipment, Product or Service Supplier’ for their nurse call system, Tunstall Carecom, in the Care Home Awards 2020. ECHAlliance release

(We do note that it was published on 23 Dec, in the ‘dead of night’ rolling up to the Christmas holiday.) Notably, there is no report on the Tunstall website and it is too early to show on standard corporate reporting sites such as DueDil and CompanyCheck. The YP article appears to be written partly in press release-speak, which we do not fault them for on limited news available. In summary:

  • In the 2014 FY ended 30 September, revenues were £215 million. FY2013 was £221 million, a decrease of £6 million (2.7 percent).
  • A corresponding but greater EBITDA (earnings before interest taxation depreciation and amortization) drop to £43.0 million. FY 2013 was £52.7 million, a decrease of £9.7 million (18.4 percent).
  • The good news: revenues up 6.8 percent in the Nordics, Southern Europe, Central Europe, and Australasia; Spain’s Televida as a market leader also a bright spot [TTA 19 Dec].
  • No such good news in UK and the US  (more…)
