Future Care Capital

Future Care Capital (FCC) is the UK charity dedicated to breaking barriers and driving sustainable, measurable impact in health and care.

We recognise the systemic silos, short-term thinking, and resource constraints that prevent progress in health and care.

These challenges make innovating, collaborating across boundaries, and delivering meaningful change difficult.

FCC bridges these gaps by thinking and working differently, convening experts and diverse stakeholders, and driving solutions that address long-term challenges.

By thinking differently, working differently, and breaking barriers, we bring together innovators, providers, and investors to drive solutions that improve care, deliver better outcomes, and achieve systemic transformation.

FCC Impact and Outcome Report: 2017 to 2025

Future Care Capital has published its most comprehensive impact report to date, capturing the projects, partnerships and progress that have defined our work over the past eight years.

As the health and care system faces urgent and evolving pressures, from workforce shortages and fragmented services to untapped innovation, this report demonstrates FCC’s unique role in breaking down silos and accelerating sustainable solutions.

From championing responsible data use and funding pioneering care tech, to shaping national policy and supporting unpaid carers, the report shows what’s possible when we think and work differently. It includes our most impactful collaborations and offers a clear view of the outcomes achieved through our focus on innovation management, impact evaluation and strategic investment.

The report also includes reflections from outgoing Chair Andrew Whelan, setting the tone for what comes next and

Extended Reality in Healthcare Education

FCC has recently published a paper on the potential of extended reality in healthcare education.

Extended reality (XR) offers significant potential to improve both the access to healthcare professional training and ongoing development and the effectiveness with which it is delivered. In so doing, XR could enable more people to provide better care, more readily. With this, the burden placed on the healthcare system and those working in it might be lessened and critically, the experience of those receiving care and their outcomes improved.

Immersive technologies have gained traction in recent years as technology has advanced and the need for change intensified in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. The requirements of medical education are evolving too, not least in an environment where opportunities for practical clinical experiences are becoming more limited. In response, the application of XR educational technologies offers potential for greater learning and development, generating capacity and additional capability of those providing care as well as workplace satisfaction. Applied at scale, the return for all could be even greater, not least for those in receipt.
