Camascope joins PCS

We’re delighted to announce that Camascope has joined PCS, bringing together best-in-class medication management and digital care solutions to help connect medication data to the full picture of a person’s care. This is an important milestone for Camascope, our customers, our partners, and the wider social care sector. Together with PCS, we will continue our shared commitment to supporting care providers with reliable technology, practical innovation and better-connected care.

Medication intelligence for safer, more connected care

Medication management is one of the most critical and riskiest workflows in social care. The CQC has cited research estimating that 237 million medication errors occur in England every year across health and adult social care. Missed doses, incorrect administration and fragmented records can put people at risk and add pressure to already-stretched care providers and care teams.

By joining a person’s medication administration record to the rest of their care notes, including areas such as hydration, falls, activities and day-to-day observations, medication can be understood in the full context of a person’s care. That is the difference Camascope and PCS will make together: medication understood as part of the full picture of care, so teams can spend less time piecing systems together and more time caring for people.

As social care continues to digitise, PCS is helping to usher in a new stage of care intelligence: using data from the care record to give providers insight, benchmarking and evidence they can act on. By connecting Camascope’s medication data to the wider care record, PCS will extend this capability into medication intelligence, moving beyond a record of administration towards smarter insights that guide safer, more connected care.

The teams at Camascope and PCS are united by a shared commitment to care providers across the UK: safer and smarter care. Together, we will continue to invest in reliable technology, better service and practical innovation that makes a meaningful difference to care teams, providers and the people they support.

A new CEO with a track record in data, AI and care

Kehan Zhou has been appointed Group CEO of PCS, Camascope and ClearCare.

Having built and scaled AI and data businesses, Kehan joined Camascope as CEO in 2023. Under his leadership, Camascope grew from supporting around 14,000 care residents to more than 85,000 and was ranked 248th in the Financial Times’ FT 1000 list of Europe’s fastest-growing companies in 2026.

Kehan believes those building technology must stay close to the people who use it. To understand the realities facing care providers, he has spent time living as a care home resident and has worked night shifts alongside the teams who rely on the software day in, day out.

His user-first philosophy, grounded in expertise across AI, data and social care, will help shape the next chapter for PCS, Camascope and Clearcare: building a connected care intelligence platform that brings stronger data, analytics and AI across social care.

Kehan said: “It is a privilege to work alongside so many compassionate, mission-driven colleagues across PCS, Camascope and Clearcare. Together we have an opportunity to build exceptional technology that makes a meaningful difference to care providers, the people they support and their families. I remain deeply committed to staying close to the people we serve, whose dedication, resilience and humanity inspire our work every day.”

A message from Kehan

The sector opportunity

The UK has 465,000 registered care home beds, and demand is rising faster than the workforce can grow to meet it. With demand outpacing the workforce, the opportunity lies in making better use of what the sector already has: its data. Yet that data has historically sat in silos, with medication managed separately from the wider care record. This limits the ability to give carers time back, support earlier action and provide clearer evidence of the quality and value of care being delivered.

PCS is building the connected infrastructure to change that: a care operating system that brings together care delivery, medication management, staffing and training, and resident and family experience in one platform. For Camascope customers, this next chapter creates the opportunity to connect medication management more closely with wider care data and insight, while continuing to support the safe, efficient workflows they rely on today.

What comes next

UK social care is facing a generational challenge. Demand for care is rising faster than the workforce available to deliver it, while the value of what care teams deliver is too often under-recognised or misunderstood by families weighing care options, local authorities setting fees and the wider health system that depends on social care to function effectively. The sector needs technology that works as one: connected data, meaningful external benchmarks and clear evidence of the quality, safety and value of care, so the focus stays where it belongs: on the person receiving care.

By bringing together care management, medication management and care intelligence, PCS, Camascope and ClearCare will support providers with clearer insight, stronger oversight and better-connected tools to help evidence the quality, safety and value of the care they deliver every day.

For Camascope customers, our focus remains the same: continuing to support safe, efficient medication management while investing in the technology, service and innovation that care providers need.

We look forward to sharing more as we begin this next chapter with PCS.
