Our story began with Ben Maruthappu, at the time a practicing physician working in A&E and Public Health medicine. Ben was struck by the volume of avoidable or unnecessary hospitalisations and the impact this was having both on the NHS, and on the lives of patients.
Whilst working as a doctor, Ben also found himself organising care for a member of his own family. Having experienced this process first-hand, he recognised the immense pressure that providers and Professional Carers were under, as well as the difficulties facing older people and their loved ones.
Recognising the transformative role that technology could play in improving the delivery, planning and outcome of healthcare at home, Ben worked with Cera’s other co-founders to launch the company in November 2016.
The work that Care professionals do every single day is life changing, that’s why Cera creates technology so that our Care Assistants can spend less time on admin and more time engaging, caring and focusing on the things that really make a difference to our clients.
By becoming a Carer with Cera, you will have the opportunity to train, learn and develop your skills as well as making a truly meaningful difference to your clients' lives. You will also be part of a Social Care revolution, reducing pressure on the NHS and achieving better outcomes for people in your care.
