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.

The latest update on the physical health model can be found 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.
