HomeLink Healthcare welcomes the NHS 10 Year Plan

The National Health Service (NHS) has unveiled an ambitious 10-year plan aimed at transforming healthcare delivery in the United Kingdom.

HomeLink Healthcare strongly supports the Plan’s vision to transform healthcare delivery through integrated, person-centred care. As a provider of clinically led Hospital at Home services, we are encouraged by the Plan’s commitment to community-based care, digital innovation, and reducing pressures on acute services. These goals align closely with our mission and capabilities and we look forward to playing a pivotal role in its success.

We are particularly pleased to see the emphasis on:

• Expanding out-of-hospital care: The Plan recognises the need to shift more care into the home and community. HomeLink Healthcare has long championed this model, delivering safe, effective, and personalised clinical care at home that reduces hospital stays and improves patient outcomes.
• Improving urgent and emergency care pathways: By enabling early discharge and admission avoidance, our services directly support this aim, easing demand on emergency departments and inpatient capacity while ensuring continuity of care.
• Delivering anticipatory care: We support the Plan’s focus on prevention and early intervention. HomeLink Healthcare is well-positioned to help identify and manage health risks before they escalate, offering proactive, personalised care plans that keep people healthier at home and reduce avoidable hospital admissions.
• Harnessing digital innovation: The move towards digitally enabled care aligns with our approach, which incorporates remote monitoring and data-driven care coordination. We see real potential in scaling technology-enabled services to enhance safety, efficiency, and patient engagement.
• Supporting integrated care systems: Our flexible service models are designed to fit local needs and complement NHS and community services, ensuring patients receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.

Jill Ireland, CEO and Clinical Director commented: “The NHS 10-Year Plan marks a critical step forward in transforming how and where care is delivered. At HomeLink Healthcare, we’ve seen first-hand the impact that home-based care can have — improving patient outcomes, easing system pressure, and enabling people to live well at home for longer. We are proud to support this vision.”

To realise the ambitions of the NHS 10-Year Plan, there is a crucial role for agile, clinician-led organisations like HomeLink Healthcare. Our work with NHS trusts and ICBs across the country demonstrates that high-quality home-based clinical care can alleviate system pressures while improving patient satisfaction and outcomes.

We look forward to continued collaboration with NHS partners to help deliver the transformation the Plan envisions. Together, we can build a more sustainable, patient-focused health system that delivers care closer to home.
