Trust news

The Dental Head Office and Referral Teams (SPOC & START) will be moving from Hartington Road Clinic to The Lifehouse, Summers Road, Liverpool L3 4BL on Friday 10th October 2025. Telephone numbers for all staff and referral centres will remain the same and arrangements have been made on the day of the move to ensure that contact with the teams and staff can be maintained during this time.

A new online hospital - NHS Online - is being set up to transform the way patients access specialist care, from 2027. The innovative service will not have a physical site, instead connecting expert clinicians to patients in England. Patients can choose to be referred to NHS Online by their GP and will be able to see specialists, track their prescription and get advice on their condition, without waiting for a face-to-face appointment.

As outlined in the inquest policy, please can any requests to the coroner for the Cause of Death (COD) be made through the inquest team via the generic email inquests@merseycare.nhs.uk.

To uphold our Trust values and ensure best practice in recruitment, mandatory training is required for all colleagues involved in the recruitment process. Please ensure you meet the correct requirements.

Applications are now open for October 2026 entry in the King’s PhD Programme in Mental Health Research for Health Professionals, those wishing to seek a clinical and academic career in mental health research are encouraged to apply.
