Mental Health Care news

Mental Health Care Division hosted clinicians from Norway over two days to look at advances in practice for early intervention and urgent care.

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.

From Monday, 2 September leigh-moss.duty@merseycare.nhs.uk will no longer be active and Leigh Moss Community Hub will have three separate duty email addresses.

Can all wards in Mental Health Care Division count any used ligature knives as part of their security checks at the start of shifts and on handovers. Please contact the Personal Safety Team on 0151 250 6106 if you need replacements or email John.O'Neill@merseycare.nhs.uk  or David.jones@merseycare.nhs.uk

Expressions of interest are open for those who wish to be considered for a place on the post graduate certificate in applied psychological interventions, which will start in September 2024.
