The ECT service at Knowsley Resource and Recovery Centre and the Neuromodulation service at Broadoak Unit will become one combined Neuromodulation Service (NMS) on 9 January 2023. From that date, contact details for all enquiries related to the service are: 0151 250 5069 or email: Neuromodulation
The referral process will change, please see attached ECT Referral Standard Operating Procedure (ECT SOP). From 9 January all referring consultant psychiatrists should follow the RIO referral process outlined within the ECT SOP.
The ECT suite at Knowsley is undergoing improvement works, therefore this ECT service will be temporarily offered at the Broadoak Unit, Broadgreen Hospital site. The last day of ECT treatment at Knowsley Resource and Recovery Centre was Friday 6 January 2023.
When the refurbishment is complete both services will be located at Knowsley Resource and Recovery Centre on Whiston Hospital site. It is expected that this will be in May 2023.
From then, all Neuromodulation Services will be provided from within the new Neuromodulation Suite at Knowsley Resource and Recovery Centre.
Service users affected by these moves will be contacted by the team.
