Trust news

The Life Rooms were awarded 'Best use of digital for NHS Trusts' alongside Access Health Support and Care at the recent Health Tech Newspaper (HTN) Health Tech Awards, for their work in integrating the RiO system with Elemental which allows mental health professionals to refer service users directly to The Life Rooms for social prescribing support.

Over the past year, Mersey Cares has supported the Occupational Health and Wellbeing service's ‘Pause for Thought’ menopause campaign. This campaign earned national recognition, being shortlisted in three categories at the Menopause Friendly Employer Awards 2024: ‘Most Open Culture,’ ‘Best Engagement Approach,’ and ‘Best Trained Workforce,’ which the Wellbeing Team and Mersey Cares attended last month.

Our CARES Values drive our actions across the organisation. Through your PACE conversations you will be able to reflect on how you enact our CARES values and you can thank each other for living our values through our Thank You system. Through our recognition system we thank each other for living our values and create a more positive and inclusive culture.
