Social media is full of potential pitfalls and the communications team are here to help and protect you from issues that may arise from posts.

Mersey Care’s policy is to have one Trust account so all posts are consistent and follow strategic guidelines and promote the right initiatives. Teams and wards should not operate their own official accounts, but the communications team can help by posting your successes from the official account.

We encourage everyone to support Mersey Care’s work via their personal social media accounts and a helpful guide has been published to help you with that, which can be accessed via YourSpace.

Any queries about social media and posting can also be addressed by contacting communications on communications@merseycare.nhs.uk.
