The opportunity for techUK members 

Get direct access to NHS staff at every level (execs, digital, operational, frontline). Showcase your innovation to a newly formed trust shaping the future of acute and community services across North Cheshire and Mersey. 

North Cheshire and Mersey NHS Foundation Trust was formed in April 2026, bringing together acute services from Warrington and Halton with community services across more than 70 sites. As the trust opens its doors to technology providers, it is drafting strategy and examining how to move care closer to home. 

This is your chance to engage decision-makers and frontline teams in one place – at a pivotal moment in the trust's transformation. 

The trust is looking for technology that inspires its leaders and workforce, challenges its thinking, and shows the art of the possible. If your solution responds, you belong at this showcase.

How Elevate brings your tech directly to the NHS 

Highland's Elevate programme brings curated, relevant health tech directly into NHS organisations – creating real conversations and real opportunities. 

Healthcare providers engage their workforce in the art of the possible, identifying technology that fits their priorities. 

Suppliers get real conversations, genuine opportunities, and unprecedented access to decision-makers and clinical teams. 

What the trust wants to see 

North Cheshire and Mersey has identified its priorities. The trust is particularly interested in: 

• Hospital at home and remote monitoring 

• Wearables and diagnostics at point of care 

• AI, ambient voice, and productivity solutions 

• Patient access and self-management platforms 

• Joined-up records and neighbourhood working 

• Smarter, safer estates 

• Transformative technologies showing the art of the possible 

The trust has briefed Highland on 98 technology categories it would like to explore. Places are strictly limited to two suppliers per solution category – ensuring genuine comparison rather than a crowded field. 

Can't find your solution listed? If your technology responds to trust needs or challenges, you can still request a place. 

Proof this works: Opportunities becoming reality 

The model works. Elevate has already run at University Hospitals of Derby and Burton, Bristol NHS Foundation Trust, and Countess of Chester Hospital. At Derby and Burton alone, 500 NHS staff at every level engaged with focused vendors onsite. Those conversations are already progressing into opportunities and feeding into digital strategy.

Why attend – engagement like never before, real opportunities 

• Direct access to senior decision-makers and frontline staff. Whole-organisation engagement from chief executive to ward level.

• Conversations that shape strategy – your insights feed directly into clinical, digital, and operational planning.
