Community Care news

Earlier this year, Lisa Marshall, Mersey Care’s Operational Manager for Children and Young People (0-5), received a Chief Superintendent’s Commendation from Merseyside Police in recognition of the trust’s work developing a Safer Sleep initiative across Liverpool and Sefton and you can watch an interview with other partners here.

Patients were able to attend a local sports centre where they discussed their needs with MSK clinicians, physiotherapists, AHPs, charities, voluntary services and other community services.

Knowsley Continence Service has changed its name to Bladder and Bowel and has migrated to EMIS, you are no longer able to complete an internal referral via RIO. Nursing Services within the same EMIS Org can complete an inbound referral. To refer a patient please complete the internal referral form and send to the new email address knowsleybladderandbowel@merseycare.nhs.uk

Our Liverpool Community Equipment Service has introduced a new click and collect service from their site at Mersey Reach in Bootle. When prescribers order in the normal way, they can now select ‘collect equipment from my local depot’ on the delivery page to enable click and collect, which includes same day collection. This new service will enable prescribers to issue equipment direct at patient appointments. For more information contact community.equipment@merseycare.nhs.uk

Community EMIS Web will be upgraded with the latest Medical Knowledge Base (MKB) file, which includes updated background codes.
