Are you happy at work? What would help you do your job better? What do you want to change? Join the conversation and tell us!

Mega Conversations are our way of bringing people from all roles, teams and workplaces across the Trust together to listen to and understand views about work, challenges and future aspirations.

This year’s Mega Conversations are running online between 5 and 17 July and we want to hear from you!

We have used Mega Conversations since 2013 to listen to experiences of people who deliver and use our services and implement service improvements, clinical models and initiatives as a result.

Previous Mega Conversations led to the development of our Restorative Just and Learning Culture, so these events really do make a huge difference to you, our Trust and the people we care for.        

As we emerge from the most challenging period the NHS has known and having recently welcomed new staff from North West Boroughs Healthcare and Lancashire and South Cumbria trusts, it feels like the right time to reflect on where we are as a Trust, think about the future and how we will work together to deliver Perfect Care.

It is important everyone has the opportunity to shape the future of Mersey Care.

The information gathered during these sessions will be collated and used to inform our future plans for staff engagement and service improvements.

We know everyone is busy, but it’s really important to make time to stop, think about how far we have come and where we are going in the future.

This is an exciting period for the Trust as we welcome new staff, expand our family and realise the benefits of working together for our patients, service users and communities.

You delivering our services so only you who can tell us what’s working and what could be better. You can make a difference.

10 Mega Conversations will take place between Monday 5 and Saturday 17 July. Each session will be 2.5 hours.

All sessions will be held virtually on Zoom, which means you can use a laptop, tablet or smartphone to join the conversation from anywhere. You won’t need a camera as we know people will be joining from our inpatient areas.

You will hear from the Executive Team about the strategic vision for Mersey Care and have the opportunity to share your experiences, ideas and challenges.

The sessions will focus around three broad topics:

  • The next stages of our Perfect Care strategy, moving forward as one Mersey Care
  • How will we work together as and learn from each other?
  • What gets in the way of us doing our best job? What action can we take together which will have the biggest impact?
