In November 2023, the SA01 Policy Management Framework was updated in line with the agreed process to develop, review and approve Mersey Care policy documents.
When developing or reviewing any policy, procedure, SOP or guideline, the SA01 Policy Management Framework must be adhered to and the Policy Template or the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) Template must be used for all documents. These templates can be found on the Trust’s Policies and Procedures page.
When drafting a new policy document or reviewing an existing document, it is critical that you ensure you have consulted with the relevant staff groups on its content (such as HR, Finance and Medicines Management colleagues) prior to seeking approval of the document. This ensures that the policy document is fit for purpose and reflects the views of necessary officers across the Trust.
