Our Cheshire and Merseyside Specialist Perinatal Service has been shortlisted in the National Inclusive Awards, which shine a light on inclusion.

How health visitors help keep your baby safe

We have carried out an extensive review of the number of Personal Safety Devices held within the Trust and have identified 913 devices that have no staff members or departments assigned to them. After several attempts to get all devices reviewed and registered to the correct staff member, this figure has not improved which indicates the devices are potentially lost and can’t be accounted for. We have therefore made the decision to turn off these devices from Monday 22 September 2025.

Our Mental Health Support Team in Warrington joined their local ‘Hope 100’ event which brought the local community together to mark World Suicide Prevention Day.

Mersey Care is delighted to be invited to take part in the next steps of this project, exploring how poetry can support connection and give voice to the unspoken, especially around themes of loss and healing following the death or loss of a baby or child.
