Hello my name isThe “hello my name is...” campaign was created by the late Dr Kate Granger MBE, who was a registrar in elderly medicine. Dr Granger started the campaign in August 2013 after she became frustrated with the number of staff who failed to introduce themselves to her when she was an inpatient with post-operative sepsis. Dr Granger asked front-line NHS staff to make a pledge to introduce themselves in future to their patients. She used social media to help kick start the campaign and created the hashtag #hellomynameis. iLINKS Innovations is proud to support the “hello my name is...” campaign. Find out more at: hellomynameis.org.uk
Thank youWe would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our delegates, exhibitors and speakers for supporting this year’s iLINKS X conference and exhibition. A special note of thanks in particular goes to our event sponsors - EMIS Health, Forcare, Fortrus and InterSystems. Thank you!

Digital technology offers huge potential for empowering people whether it is used to help healthcare professionals communicate better or to enable people to access the care they need quickly and easily. Through system interoperability, healthcare professionals are increasingly able to access and share patient information, helping to improve efficiency, safety and care quality through joined up care provision. New digital services are also enabling people to take control of their own health and wellbeing through secure online access to clinicians, personalised health information, digital tools and advice that helps them to better manage their care and conditions. iLINKS X will focus on the ways in which data, digital technology and innovation is being used to equip healthcare professionals to deliver safe , efficient and effective care, whilst also empowering people to take control of their own health and wellbeing.
The use of digital technology in health and social care can enhance quality, safety, patient experience and outcomes, as well as supporting more integrated care and improving the health of the population. For example, the increased use of electronic processes to support care delivery is starting to reduce our reliance on paper processes and records that cause inefficiency and delays in care. To encourage on-going improvement and the sharing of best practice, across the NHS, Global Digital Exemplars have been identified. A GDE is an internationally recognised, digitally mature, NHS provider delivering exceptional care, efficiently, through the use of world-class digital technology and information. iLINKS X will focus on the better use of data, digital technology and innovation for enhancing the health and care of the local population. There will be a focus on the work taking place locally to improve digital maturity to reduce fragmentation and duplication.
Share2Care aims to connect and support the integration of local health and care organisations by delivering an electronic shared health and care record as a fundamental tool for the delivery of safe, timely and effective care. Through Share2Care, every health and social care practitioner will have the ability to directly access the information they need, in near real time, wherever it is held, digitally on a 24/7 basis. iLINKS X aims to introduce the Share2Care programme, key workstreams and how this programme will support new models of care, disease prevention and the shift to out of hospital care.
Cheshire and Merseyside is a leader in digital care and innovation, with some of the most digitally mature organisations and vibrant digital sectors in the UK. As a region, there is a shared commitment to constantly innovate and improve in order to identify ways in which the better use of data and digital technology can enhance health and care services.iLINKS X will explore the exciting work taking place locally to drive digital innovation, test out cutting edge technologies and attract international innovators and recognition.
The use of digital technology to enable information sharing across organisational boundaries will help support joined up care provision, leading to greater efficiency and quality of care. However, in order to support this digital transformation, a robust approach to data and cyber security is required. iLINKS X will provide an overview of the important IT security work taking place locally to deliver resilience and technical assurance.
Key themes... As we celebrate the 10-year milestone of iLINKS X, we will be focusing on the Cheshire and Merseyside Digit@LL Strategy (www.cheshireandmerseysidepartnership.co.uk) and the important role of technology in supporting people to live healthier lives, whilst transforming the way care services are delivered and experienced. This year’s event will focus on five digital themes:

3. Healthy Children: transforming child health information11:15 am - 12:15 pm: Corbiere Suite
Presented by: Mike Fuller, Regional Director of Marketing, InterSystems.
The eRedbook is an important tool for parents and health professionals to keep track of a child’s health from pregnancy to when it is five years old. It is designed to record growth charts, important milestones, health screenings, reviews and immunization programmes. However, the eRedbook is only effective if it is complete and up-to-date and the right people have timely access to it. Unfortunately, some areas of Child Health Services remain disjointed, and are paper-based and manually intensive. Sometimes information vital to the health, wellness, and security of a child is too slow to be transferred or is siloed between services. These information gaps can result in the child not receiving the support they may need. NHS Lancashire decided that they could

lead a revolution in Digital Child Health Information that closes these gaps. Working with InterSystems, they created an Event Management System (EMS) that publishes information from the Health Children Pathway for early-years within the region. Health workers can communicate with each other and give parents and carers easy and timely access to the information they need to keep their family safe and well. This innovative new technology is instrumental to future quality and effectiveness of Digital Child Healthcare in England. It implements new models in information sharing. The programme uses the National Child Health FHIR specifications standards as defined by NHS Digital. It is a blueprint for the Healthy Children Pathway in other areas.
Who would benefit from attending this session?Anyone involved in or with an interest around Child Health Services, joined-up Health and Social Care, interoperability, HL7 FHIR and national guidance and strategy. If you are an NHS organisation and want to learn more about how this can be replicated for your own region, please join the session.

6. Dare to dream digital in Continuing Healthcare to improve quality and performance - adoption and outcomes11:15 am - 12:15 pm: Lord Sefton Boxes 5 & 6
Presented by: Simon Williams, Director, IEG4 Ltd; Rachel Raw, Operations Manager, Cheshire and Wirral CCGs - Continuing Healthcare Team and Jackie Gill, Product Manager IEG4 Ltd.
Continuing Healthcare assesses and provides funding and care for our patients with complex primary health needs. In 2017, an NHS England strategic improvement programme was initiated to drive overall improvement programmes and digitising the service was identified as one of the key enablers to improvement. The Cheshire and Wirral CCG Continuing Healthcare team took the brave decision to co-develop a new innovative digital solution to transform the referral, assessment and workflows in Continuing Healthcare. We will discuss the development and adoption of the digital solution and the benefits realised through the roll out across multiple stakeholders in Cheshire and Wirral. Digitisation was an enabler of change to the service delivery and is now a best practice case for NHS England. The solution has been selected for the NHS Innovation Accelerator as one of the high impact innovations to be supported for widespread adoption. We would like to understand from the audience what they see as the enablers and barriers to widespread adoption in the NHS.
Who would benefit from attending this session?Anyone with an interest in digital adoption and an interest in the benefits that digitisation can bring to existing services. The presentation explores how staff across multiple organisations in NHS and Local Authorities engage with a new way of delivering a service through digitisation.

7. This is not just any award… this is an Unsung Hero Award!11:15 am - 12:15 pm: Earl of Derby Boxes 3 & 4 Presented by: Don Tomlinson, Founder of the Unsung Hero Awards and Laura Tomlinson, Relationship Manager – Unsung Hero Awards, Unsung Hero Awards Community Interest Community.
Friday 28th February 2020 (save the date) will celebrate the 6th Annual Unsung Hero Awards for NHS non-medical staff and volunteers. These are the only national awards that truly celebrate the amazing work done behind the scenes by staff and volunteers in the NHS whose work and achievements often go unseen and unheard. These are the people, the Unsung Heroes, who go above and beyond the call of duty. The aim of the Unsung Hero Awards has always been to shine a light onto the hard work that non-medical staff and volunteers of the NHS strive towards daily. Work that is often overlooked, despite non-medical employees making up nearly half of the workforce.
Once a year the UHA holds an Awards Gala Dinner in a top hotel in Manchester, where hundreds of attendees from the NHS are welcomed and celebrated for their efforts and achievements. These ‘Unsung Heroes’ are accompanied by senior management in many cases, and our wonderful sponsors and partners.
But as spectacular as this night is, it does not end there. What makes this a truly unique event is that the UHA awards team work throughout the twelve months before and after each awards night to promote and continue to celebrate the winners and runners-up by on-site visits and promotions. Promotions that reflect the culture and values of our wonderful NHS. Since the last awards on March 1st this year, the team has already visited NHS Trusts in Scotland, England and have been warmly received by NHS England, both in London and Leeds. There are more on-site Trust visits planned in Wales in the near future. We are now working closely with other NHS organisations in addition to NHS England including the NHS Leadership Academy, NHS Improvement and NHS Digital. These visits are ideal opportunities for us to actively promote the support given to the UHA and the NHS by the growing number of sponsors and partners. These awards are exclusively for the NHS and exclusively for non-medical staff and volunteers in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales – truly national.
Who would benefit from attending this session?This session will be of benefit to anyone who believes that non-medical staff and volunteers working in the NHS don’t always receive the recognition they deserve for the amazing work they do. This is an excellent opportunity to learn about a simple but highly effective way to help improve staff engagement and morale. A way to celebrate role models and give those people working ‘behind the scenes’ a sense of self-worth.
12
We will hear about people who have never won an award ever before and the effect it has upon their lives and work. We will hear from people who believe that ‘going the extra mile’ is a normal thing to do, people who truly love the NHS and their part in its future. Their sense of pride in being recognised by their peers and their senior managers. The awards also celebrate whole teams of non-medical staff and provide opportunities to showcase some of the great innovations being made, particularly in IT and digital projects, within the NHS. This session will also appeal to supporters and sponsors of iLINKS X as it will describe unique opportunities to continue to promote their support of the NHS throughout the 12 months national marketing campaign following the awards ceremony in February of next year. After 5 years, these awards are now a proven way of empowering, enhancing and connecting non-medical staff and volunteers in the NHS – giving them a sense of pride in their work and their place in the NHS, helping to remind them to always ‘go the extra mile’ for the benefit of all.

8. Using the Management and Supervision Tool (MaST) to support safe decision making and effective caseload management11:15 am - 12:15 pm: Earl of Derby Boxes 5 & 6
Presented by: Adam Drage, Clinical Business Change Manager, Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust. Practitioners and managers in the NHS do an amazing job every day, but we do not always have the right tools to help us. In Community Mental Health Teams we are constantly asked to provide critical information to demonstrate a safe and quality service. “Who are your most unwell patients right now?”; “Which patients might be admitted this week?”; “How complex is your caseload?”; “Have you seen your most unwell people this week?”; “How many people can you discharge back to Primary Care?”; “Are all your KPIs up to date?” We should be able to answer all these questions without feeling overwhelmed and stressed, but without the right tool to access this data we have not been able to do so. MaST is that tool. It is an e-dashboard which shows essential patient data to support safe decision making and effective caseload management. MaST takes data from the electronic record system, runs it through an algorithm and determines an individual’s score for “complexity” and “risk of crisis.” This supports practitioners and managers to identify the level of support required for each patient. The data can be used at patient level, team level and strategic level. MaST has contributed to improved patient safety, service effectiveness, data quality and staff wellbeing. In this session, we will show you how the MaST has become the most well received innovation amongst nurses, medics and managers and senior mangers across the Community Mental Health Teams in Mersey Care.
Who would benefit from attending this session?This session will be of interest to anybody working in the NHS and will be of particular interest to people who work in a community setting. MaST is a tool to improve individual caseload management, team level caseload management and service transformation. MaST presents your data in a way that allows you to understand exactly who your service is being used by and how. This allows you to start thinking differently about how to ensure that the right people are receiving the right service.

8. CCC Personal Appraisal Development Review System (PADR) - The why, the how and the what next!3 pm - 4 pm: Earl of Derby Boxes 5 & 6
Presented by: Patricia Reilly, Digital Programme Manager, The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust.
The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre (CCC) has worked collaboratively with NHS Informatics Merseyside to develop an online system accessible for all, that offers our workforce the ability to record their Personal Appraisal Development Review System (PADR), develop their own Personal Development Portfolio (PDP) and not only support the informatics professionals to achieve accreditation but also support the re-validation process for clinical members of our organisation.
We are really proud of the solution. It has been developed within the NHS Hybrid Office 365 solution, which in itself presented challenges, not least that Accenture are developing their skills and experience in administering this NHS-wide software. However, once we managed to engage with the national team, we were able to learn together to work out how to provide the necessary infrastructure to allow us to develop what we wanted to develop.
Our PADR solution is:• Online and accessible via an NHS net email username and password from any Edge or Chrome browser.
17
• Intuitive and easy to use with online help and guidance on every page. It requires three stages to be completed and the PADR cannot progress until each stage is fully completed.
Who would benefit from attending this session?Anyone looking to develop solutions for appraisal systems and organisations needing a solution to enable staff to develop their own PDP.

9. Harnessing the potential of technology to improve services for staff and patients3 pm - 4 pm: Lower Saddle Bar
Presented by: Senior leaders and front-line teams from across the GDE Trusts incl. Alder Hey, Clatterbridge, Mersey Care, Royal Liverpool and Wirral.

Happy Birthday iLINKS!Today marks the tenth anniversary of our iLINKS Innovations conference and exhibition and we are delighted that you are here with us to celebrate, and be part of, this important milestone in our event history.
What started life as a GP system user group meeting has now evolved to become one of the largest, and most eagerly awaited, calendar events of the year for the Cheshire and Merseyside health and care region.
Here, we share with you a snapshot of our journey to date, including some key milestones, memorable moments and some of our favourite snapshots taken over the years! Of course, iLINKS wouldn’t be iLINKS if it wasn’t for our dedicated event team, volunteers, sponsors, speakers, exhibitors and delegates, so a big “Thank you” to you all for your support!
We hope you enjoy the day and please feel free to share with us your favourite moments via Twitter @iLINKSInnovator #iLINKSX

To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the iLINKS Innovations conference and exhibition we will also be hosting an afternoon iLINKS X Tea Party, where we ask you to join with us in raising a cup of tea to all involved in making iLINKS happen - pretty much everyone in attendance on the day and those working hard behind the scenes!
There will also be an opportunity to take a snapshot with our iLINKS Innovations photo frame and of course no Tea Party is complete without cake, so please come along to sample one of our famous iLINKS Innovations cupcakes!
The humble cup of tea has a long and proud association with the NHS.
Originally served to patients in traditional fine cups with saucers and side spoons as a means
of hydration, tea was considered such an important aspect of patient satisfaction that
one hospital is rumoured to have even hired an official tea taster.

The Innovation Agency is the Academic Health Science Network (AHSN) for the North West Coast, covering Cheshire, Lancashire, Merseyside and South Cumbria.
They are one of 15 AHSNs funded by NHS national commissioners to spread innovations which have been demonstrated to improve health and reduce costs; and they support health systems in transformation and improvement.
They work closely with other AHSNs in the AHSN Network to roll out national innovation and improvement programmes, as well as local programmes.
One of the products being spread nationally by the AHSNs is Heartflow, a piece of software that uses information provided by a CT scan to develop a computerised model of a patient’s coronary arteries. It is non-invasive and can calculate to what extent blockages in the arteries restrict flow.
Dr Tim Fairbairn, Consultant Cardiologist at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, said:
“It’s transformational, I can’t imagine life without it. It gives us greater diagnostic certainty and a much better understanding of the patient and their disease process and that allows me to better manage that patient.
“If you care about trying to make a difference for patients it’s all about bringing in new technologies, new innovations and new forms of treatment. There are benefits for patients, for the doctor and for the institution itself.”
