Trust news

From Monday, 19 August, controlled drugs and high risk medicines (eLearning), a three yearly training requirement, will be added to training records for certain roles as agreed by the Medicines Management Team and Learning Development.

As we come to terms with the tragic incident in Southport and the subsequent violence and disorder, the Trust has been made aware of social media posts on personal accounts.

Client specific activities should be documented within the client's appointment record.

In line with continued efforts to improve patient contact details, NHS England will shortly begin contacting a small number of patients with out of date contact details via the NHS App to request that they update their information.

We have noticed that we are receiving high numbers of laboratory requests that don't prefix the patient's unit/hospital number with Rio. This means results are not always reported back on Rio and the requestor has to phone for the results.  Would it be possible to remind Mersey Care staff to always prefix the patients unit/hospital number with Rio please.
