Trust news

As you may be aware, there is an active cyber incident at a local Wirral University Hospital. Mersey Care systems are not affected by this incident; however, to be extra vigilant NHS Informatics Merseyside are putting additional controls in place and service continues as normal.

In the spirit of continuous improvement, we are keen to understand how effective the phlebotomy online appointment system is working for both patients and referrers. This is why we will be running another survey between Monday, 25 November and Sunday, 8 December.
