The iLINKS Informatics Transformation Programme

About the programme

The integration of health and social care information remains a key priority both locally and nationally in order to deliver high quality care consistently, whether in the home, community or hospital care setting.

Across Liverpool and Sefton, there are some significant challenges facing care provision locally including an ageing population, unacceptable inequalities in health, as well as wide variation in the quality of and access to services.

In order to address these issues, reform is needed, and as a health and social care economy, there is growing recognition that the transformation of care services requires a collaborative approach involving information sharing and a commitment to harness the benefits of innovation and technology.

These aims form the very basis of an ambitious programme of work, which is underway across North Mersey, to deliver safe and efficient ‘seamless’ care through the development of a joined up information exchange across health and social care services.

The approach for achieving this vision is detailed within the iLINKS Informatics Transformation Strategy, which pulls together the strategic priorities of the Healthy Liverpool and Shaping Sefton transformation programmes with the aim of giving all health and social care practitioners access to relevant information to care for individuals regardless of the care setting or organisation where the information is held.

Change of date - iLINKS 2020

iLINKS Innovations, due to take place in July 2020, has been rescheduled.

The iLINKS Innovations Event Team has taken the decision to reschedule the iLINKS Innovations conference and exhibition that was due to take place at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool on Thursday 9 July 2020.

The current national focus is on delaying the peak of the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) to the summer and our top priority is to help local services ensure that they can provide patients with the care they need. As our event was planned for July, we do not think it is appropriate to divert staff time during what we can expect to be a period of increased activity for the health and care sector.

The proposed rescheduled date is Thursday 5 November 2020.

All delegate bookings for the event will be transferred to the rescheduled date. However, if you are not able to attend on this date and wish to cancel your place, please do this via the Eventbrite website which is where you made your original booking.

The iLINKS Innovations Event Team will be in touch with all those supporting the event including sponsors, exhibitors and speakers to answer any questions and discuss plans for the rescheduled event in further detail.

On behalf of the event team, we would like to thank all of our delegates, sponsors, exhibitors, speakers and wider support teams for your understanding during this period of uncertainty. We will keep you fully informed regarding any further developments during this unprecedented situation.
