Trust Wide Support Services News

NHS organisations and staff are increasingly being targeted by pretexting scams. Pretexting is a type of social engineering attack where someone pretends to be a trusted person to trick you into sharing information or carrying out an action. These scams aren’t limited to the online world - they can also happen over the phone or in person. For example, a caller might pose as a family member or even a police officer, telling a convincing story to gain your trust and persuade you to hand over sensitive details, such as a telephone number.

As we step into autumn, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved, get active, and raise funds for our specialist mental health and community services. Choose from the Women’s 10k, Wirral 10k, Run Alton Towers – a 10K (or junior race) around the famous theme park with access to all of the rides, and Run Aintree – various distances around the iconic race circuit! The BTR Liverpool Santa Dash is also back for 2025 – with registrations now open! Assemble your teams and support us to do more beyond NHS funding for our services
