Dear Delegate,
Welcome to the UHUK 2024 Conference and Awards Ceremony! It’s an honour to welcome you all to this year’s gathering, and it’s especially meaningful as my final UHUK Conference as Chair. This event promises to bring together our diverse experiences, ideas, and innovations to advance the care we deliver for our communities.
As you prepare for the next two days, please take a few moments to read this letter and explore the agenda. The packed schedule highlights not only each presentation’s focus but also introduces the expertise and backgrounds of our speakers. With this overview, you’ll be well-prepared to navigate each session and make the most of this exceptional conference.
This year’s conference holds special significance, with the NHS at a critical crossroads. The urgency for change has never been greater, and so too is the opportunity to create meaningful, lasting transformation. The UHUK community, grounded in NHS and social values, is uniquely positioned to drive this change. Together, we’re proving how urgent and integrated care providers are essential to sustaining the NHS and enhancing patient outcomes. This conference celebrates that commitment as we share achievements, best practices, and our unwavering dedication to excellence in patient care.
Our theme, “Sustaining the NHS: Is Virtual Care the Solution?” reflects one of the most timely and impactful discussions facing healthcare today. Over these two days, we’ll explore whether digital and virtual care solutions can effectively sustain NHS services, examining their potential to deliver safe, efficient, and accessible care across communities. In a time when Wes Streeting has launched a public consultation to gather insights and experiences to “help fix our NHS,” and the Darzi Review has highlighted the need to shift NHS resources toward community-based care, we have a unique chance to contribute new ideas and champion solutions that align with these priorities. The Darzi Review's call to reallocate resources from hospitals to community care, for instance, aligns directly with the core of our work as a UHUK network and challenges us to lead the way in finding viable, community-focused solutions.
A special thank you goes to our sponsors, whose partnership enables this conference and its mission. Their expertise and innovations will be on display throughout the event, showcasing their critical contributions to healthcare. I encourage each of you to connect with our sponsors and explore how their solutions can support and enrich the work we do. Their support is essential to our shared goals and embodies the spirit of partnership and collaboration that drives UHUK forward.
Reflecting on my journey in urgent care, which began with my appointment to the Liverpool GP Co-operative Board in 1998, I feel a profound gratitude for the experiences, connections, and shared achievements we’ve cultivated. Working alongside each of you has been an honour and a privilege. Our progress together has built a stronger, more responsive healthcare system, and I am deeply grateful for your support and collaboration over the years.
Looking ahead, it will be exciting to see how our discussions and insights from this conference will inform the future of our sector. Thank you all for your commitment, and I hope the next two days are as inspiring and thought-provoking as the work you do daily. Enjoy the conference, and may it fuel the ideas, partnerships, and innovations that shape our future.
Thank you for registering for what promises to be an outstanding occasion. I want to acknowledge the incredible talent each of you bring to the conference, that will really make it a valuable and memorable event. Please keep your feedback forms at hand, and I look forward to seeing you.
Warm regards

Dr Dawood Anwar Interim Chief Executive SPCT
Salford Primary Care Together are responsible for driving forward collaboration and supporting the local practices to pool their services, staff and resources so that all GP practices in the neighbourhood are strengthened and improved. This also means connecting general practice with other professionals and support in local neighbourhoods, such as district nurses, social workers, mental health workers, voluntary organisations and local community groups.
This means people will have better access to the advice, expertise and support they need to be as independent as they can, with the opportunity to see a wider range of health professionals and access the full range of activities in their area. Local people will require fewer hospital admissions and visits as there will be more skills and support available within the community they live.
In addition to our work with GP practices, we directly provide primary care services, including the Ordsall and Claremont Primary Care Diagnostic Unit and the Salford Wide Extended Access Pilot.
We are a Community Interest Company, which means we exist to improve the health and wellbeing of Salford people and all our resources will be dedicated to doing that.
