More about those joining the event on the day

  • Merseyside Police

    Merseyside Police will be joining us at the event, offering patients and staff the chance to ask questions and learn about staying safe online.

    In today's digital age, understanding how to protect your personal information and navigate the internet safely is more important than ever.

    Whether it’s avoiding online scams, safeguarding your devices, or managing privacy settings, Merseyside Police will be there to offer expert guidance and advice.

    The internet is an amazing resource for healthcare and connection, but it’s crucial to understand the risks and how to keep yourself secure while using it. This is a fantastic opportunity for everyone at Liverpool Women's Hospital to gain valuable insights into staying safe in the digital world.

  • Netcall

    Netcall will be at the event to demonstrate our brand-new LWH Patient Portal, a game-changing tool that gives patients easy access to appointment reminders, digital letters, and much more, all through a simple and intuitive app. This portal is a huge step forward in improving patient engagement and making healthcare more accessible for everyone.

    During the event, Netcall will walk attendees through how the portal works, showing you how to access your appointments and reminders through the NHS App in just a few taps. Whether you’re managing multiple appointments or want to stay on top of your healthcare, this app is designed with you in mind.

    Netcall’s objective aligns perfectly with our goals here at Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Trust. In their words:

    "Our objective at Netcall is to support better and more efficient patient engagement by offering simple communication methods that support the diverse needs of today’s multi-cultural and multi-generational society. We are really excited to be supporting this event where we will be showcasing the benefits of digital engagement for patients through the use of patient engagement portals and the NHS App."

    This event is all about making healthcare easier and more accessible for our patients, and the LWH Patient Portal is a key part of that mission. We can’t wait to show you how it works and how it can enhance your care experience!

  • K2 Medical Systems

    K2 Medical Systems will be joining us showcasing their My Pregnancy Notes online portal, for our pregnant patients. This digital tool not only makes it easier to self-refer when you find out you're expecting, but it also gives you 24/7 access to your pregnancy record—right at your fingertips!

    K2 will be on hand to answer any questions you or your family might have about the portal. Whether you need help signing up, have feedback, or want to know how to make the most of it—this is your chance to get the guidance you need. Don’t miss the opportunity to chat with our amazing LWH Digital Midwives as well.

  • Fertility Consents

    For patients undergoing fertility treatment at LWH, the informed consent process is a crucial step in ensuring they receive all the medical and legal information required before starting their treatment. Traditionally, this process was done on paper, with lengthy forms and verbal explanations, often resulting in errors and delays due to re-keying information.

    But thanks to the Fertility Consents app, this process has been completely transformed. Patients can now watch detailed explainer videos from the comfort of their homes, making it easier to digest complex medical and legal information at their own pace. The smart forms feature prompts and checks, ensuring everything is completed accurately and efficiently.

    The result? A smoother, faster, and more informed consent process! Patients save time by reducing the need for multiple trips to the hospital, and when they do visit, the administrative side of things is already taken care of, allowing them to focus on their care.

    We’re particularly excited because this new system is going live at the Hewitt Centre this October, marking a major milestone in our ongoing efforts to improve fertility care. This event is an amazing opportunity for patients to come and meet the team, and be the first to experience this cutting-edge system!

    Here’s what Fertility Consents had to say about the event: "At the LWH Digital Day, we will be showing patients how they can manage their consent process from a mobile phone, tablet, or PC. This means easier access, more control, and a more streamlined experience for fertility patients."

    We’re excited to show how this innovative solution is making life easier for fertility patients, and how it contributes to our goal of improving the overall patient experience through digital transformation.

  • LanguageLine 

    We're delighted to reveal that LanguageLine will be joining us at Liverpool Women’s Hospital for the Get Online with LWH event!

    For our diverse community, access to clear communication is essential. LanguageLine has been an incredible partner in helping us bridge language gaps to ensure our patients and their families receive the care and support they need in a language they understand.

    At the event, LanguageLine will showcase two of their innovative solutions:

    • Rolling Carts (IOW) and Tabletop Stands – equipped with dedicated iPads that offer live access to the LLS Insight App and their interpreters.
    • Live demonstrations will be held to show attendees how the Insight App connects users with interpreters in over 240 languages, both in audio and video format.
    • Over the Phone Interpreting services (OPI) will also be demonstrated live, providing instant access to interpreters on demand.

    For patients and staff, this is a fantastic opportunity to see firsthand how LanguageLine can help make healthcare more accessible for non-English speakers and those who communicate through sign language.

    Here’s what LanguageLine had to say about their participation:

    "We are excited to bring our innovative language solutions to the event and demonstrate how our technology helps break down language barriers. Our Insight App offers immediate access to interpreters in over 240 languages, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to communicate effectively, no matter what language they speak."

    LanguageLine is transforming communication in healthcare, making sure that language is no longer a barrier to getting the right care. We can't wait to see their live demonstrations in action!
