Liverpool Health Partners will host a special event to reflect on the challenges and innovations of the past year amid the COVID-19 pandemic and hear from regional leaders on the future of healthcare across Cheshire and Merseyside.

The free webinar will take place on June 15^th from 2-5pm and will be of interest to researchers, innovators, NHS and HEI staff and executives, voluntary and community colleagues, R&D staff, patient and public involvement stakeholders and anyone interested in how research and innovation is shaping healthcare.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been an unprecedented challenge to health and care sectors, but ground-breaking research and innovation has supported and underpinned radical approaches to protecting our population and preparing systems for the future.

Across the north west this has included vaccine research, development of new therapies, interventions to improve wellbeing and resilience of NHS staff, a significant digital transformation and as a system we have been building the evidence needed to understand longer term implications of COVID-19 on our population.

COVID-19 has galvanised partnership working across health and social care, and this event will highlight achievements the pandemic has driven and will look towards our next steps as a system to rebuild and reset how we innovate and deliver improved care for patients and communities.

The event will feature plenaries from Tony Reeves, Liverpool City Council CEO and Professor Iain Buchan, LHP Programme Director of Digital Partnerships, reflecting on the civic and economic challenges of the region and how systems data and collaborative working can address our significant regional health inequalities.

The event will showcase best practice and new ideas from LHP partners and stakeholders across innovation, policy and practice data and research and will close with a System Leader’s Reflections on the future of healthcare transformation across Cheshire and Merseyside.
