Community Services

Our staff deliver community health services to people in their own homes, in locations including health centres and clinics, NHS Walk-in Centres and an older adults intermediate care ward at Aintree University Hospital site.

We are the largest provider of 0 to 19 services across Liverpool and Sefton, working in partnership to improve the health and wellbeing of 160,000 local children and their families.

We also deliver specialist dental health care, therapies, medicines management and nutrition and dietetics service. Our teams work closely with GPs and other health and social care services to ensure patients are cared for with the best support, closer to their home.

Our community nurses enable people to be cared for in their own community and remain as independent as possible, rather than having to go to hospital. Many of these services are delivered out of hours, 24 hours, seven days a week.

Every year our staff deliver care to thousands of patients and at the same they will be talking to their families, carers and their communities. These hundreds of thousands of interactions mean that our staff are best placed to understand patients’ holistic health and social needs, including education, prevention and self care.

    Turning off unassigned Personal Safety Devices (Lone Working Devices)

    12 September 2025

    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.
