Mersey Care successfully transitioned which means that all statutory Mental Health Act forms (for services using Rio only) should be completed using Thalamos. It’s the Trust’s expectation that you use this new process, so all admission, community treatment order, hospital, treatment and discharge forms should now be completed on Thalamos. Local authorities (approved mental health professionals) have gone live with Thalamos so will send forms to Mersey Care electronically. Find out more here.

Our community physical health services, specifically urgent care, will provide these services and will significantly improve the physical health of our service users whilst in hospital.

This is an operating model for police and partners that seeks to make sure the public is provided with the right care, responded to by the right person, with the right skills, training and experience to best meet their needs. It aims to make sure people who call the police get the best possible support and service.

    We’ve changed the way mental health emergency and urgent referrals are received from GPs in St Helens, Knowsley, Warrington and Halton. In the event of a very urgent referral (up to four hours), urgent referral (up to 24 hours), or urgent response (up to 72 hours), please contact our First Response Service on 0800 051 1508 and press option 1. The team will log referral information and transfer to the most appropriate person for action.
