Welcome to Richard Pantlin Ltd

I am a leading expert in English Adult Social Care systems working at national policy level and with commercial IT suppliers.  I also specialise in developing innovative social care concepts through to operational readiness.

Here's why innovation is necessary:  

English Adult Social Care is a £20billion-plus sector. And it is going through a long slow crisis. 

The population is ageing, with a longer period of terminal ill-health - especially dementia.

People with a wide range of Learning Disabilities also need and expect life-time support and are living much longer.

So demand is growing steadily while governmental funding is reducing – and already available only to the most needy, in terms of care and finances.

Traditional support networks of family, friends & community are under strain as our society has become increasingly atomized, consumerist and job-driven.

At the same time, there is a new and growing movement to re-establish fresh human networks which can be enabled with modern internet and communications technology valuing social contributions from all  – even those needing support or approaching the end of their lives.

I spent 15 years engaging with Department of Health policy and delivering commercial information systems to local authorities that allow them to manage caseloads & finances within DH constraints. As a successful freelance consultant since September 2011, I am committed to using my experience to improve social care systems for the benefit of all of us.

Whether you are in a local authority, the NHS, a social enterprise or the private sector, I can help you shape and implement new IT and business processes.

My skills include:

  • Commercial business management
  • IT systems & web design, development, procurement, testing & implementation
  • Project & Programme Management (PRINCE II)
  • Adults & Children’s social care across England, Wales & Scotland
