encompass Go Live 8 May 2025 - Southern Health and Social Care Trust

The Southern and Western Health and Social Care Trusts will make history on 8 May 2025, as they become the final two Health and Social Care (HSC) Trusts in Northern Ireland to Go-Live with encompass, the ground-breaking digital health and care system. This milestone marks the completion of a regional-wide digital transformation, ensuring that every citizen in Northern Ireland will have their own digital health and social care record.
encompass, which has been progressively implemented across Northern Ireland’s Trusts since November 2023, is a clinically and operationally led programme that will replace outdated paper records with real-time, up-to-date digital information accessible to all those involved in delivering care.
Both the Southern and Western Trusts have closely observed the earlier rollouts of encompass in the South Eastern Trust on 9 November 2023, Belfast Trust on 6 June 2024, as well as the preparations ahead of Northern Trust which are due to Go-Live on 7 November 2024. Southern and Western Trusts are learning from their experiences to ensure a smooth transition for their own staff and service users.
The successful rollout in these Trusts has demonstrated the system’s potential to enhance the delivery of health and social care services across Northern Ireland.
