Find out how Mersey Care is working with Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CWP) to improve services, reduce variation and deliver better outcomes for local communities.
Our partnership with Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
Mersey Care and Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust have a strong history of working together to improve care for local communities. Together, we already support a wide range of mental health, learning disability and neuro-developmental services services, including perinatal mental health, secure and specialist services, rehabilitation, crisis care and support for people with complex needs.
Both Trust Boards have agreed to renew and strengthen this partnership, reflecting the benefits it is already bringing for staff, service users, patients and carers, and our shared ambition to deliver high-quality, joined-up care.
Recent joint work has shown the value of closer collaboration, including improving support for new mothers and families, strengthening urgent and emergency mental health care, and aligning pathways for children and young people.
Joint Programme Director Chris Lyons and CWP Strategic Clinical Director Dr Fiona Pender are leading this work - helping to keep it focused, supported and aligned to where collaboration can make the greatest difference in delivering care, which is more consistent, equitable and responsive to the needs of our communities.
We will continue to share regular updates about how the various workstreams are progressing in our newsletters. If you would like to find out more or share any ideas, please email:
