We want to inform you of an important change to the Mersey Care Board of Directors. Rosie Cooper will stand down from her role as chair on 30 November 2025 due to current health issues.
Rosie said: It has been an absolute honour and privilege to have served as Chair of the Board of Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust for the last three years. I appreciate this is short notice, but it will allow the Trust to move forward with clarity and certainty in the coming months with the appointment of a new chair for a full term of office. I would like to thank colleagues for their dedication and commitment to delivering the best possible care to our patients.
The Trust sends its very best wishes to Rosie for a speedy recovery.
This decision allows the Trust to move forward with the appointment of a new chair for a full term of office.
Rosie was appointed as the Mersey Care Chair in 2022 following more than fifty years in politics before joining the NHS.
The process to recruit an interim chair is underway and recruitment for a new chair will start immediately.
