UHL 2030 is our five-year strategy that sets out how closer collaboration will improve patient care, efficiency and outcomes by 2030.

It's been developed using population health data and aligns with the NHS 10-Year Health Plan, supporting shifts from hospital to community, analogue to digital, and sickness to prevention. 

You can download a full copy of the draft strategy, or a summary version, at the bottom of this page. 

The population of Liverpool is over 500,000 people. Together Liverpool, Sefton and Knowsley - North Mersey - have a population of around 950,000 people.

Through our specialist and tertiary services, we serve a population of well over 3 million people across Cheshire and Merseyside, parts of Lancashire, North Wales and the Isle of Man.

The communities we serve live shorter lives compared to the national average, with rising numbers of people living with long term health conditions.

Many people spend years living with poor health, a lot of which could be prevented. Waiting times can be long and services are not always joined up.

Our strategy has been developed using population health data and aligns with the NHS 10-Year Health Plan, supporting shifts from hospital to community, analogue to digital, and sickness to prevention.

How will we deliver the strategy?

To deliver our ambition, we have set ourselves four overarching objectives and have identified three further themes that will be important for the achievement of all of them.

Objectives graphic.png

  • Transform services for patients – so that we can meet the needs of our population
  • Deliver outstanding care – so that our services are high-quality safe, timely and efficient 
  • Be a great place to work – so that we attract, develop and retain the best people, who then work in a positive culture 
  • Seize the opportunities of coming together – so that we work together to increase our impact and become more efficient 

To be able to achieve these objectives, we will need a real focus on three key enablers: 

  • Working in partnership
  • Advancing research and innovation
  • Making best use of digital and data 

You can read exactly what we will do in each of these seven areas in the full strategy.
