Community Nursing in Focus: How North Cumbria Supports Patients Beyond the Hospital

Welcome to The Connection: Where Tech Meets Humanity in Healthcare podcast, brought to you by RLDatix. In this compelling live episode from the Connected Health and Care Summit 2025, Liz Jones and Darren Kilroy are joined by Salli Pilcher, a Queen's Nurse and senior leader at North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Trust.

Salli's remarkable story encompasses both personal resilience, overcoming long COVID through cold water swimming—and professional innovation, as she leads community services across one of England's most geographically challenging regions.

Salli Pilcher is a Queen's Nurse working in senior leadership at North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Trust, where she oversees a vast portfolio including eight integrated care communities, six community hospitals, and numerous specialist services. 

Her area extends from Alston to the Solway Firth and down to South Copeland, serving diverse populations in rural, remote and coastal communities. She's also on the Queen's Nursing Institute long COVID network and has built a thriving cold water swimming community of over 50 people.

👉 At RLDatix, we understand that health and care is a complex landscape where technology must work hand-in-hand with human expertise. In our podcast, we explore how our commitment to safety and operational efficiency can improve the daily experiences of health and care professionals while keeping patient safety at the core of everything we do. 🎉
