Trust news

Our colleagues at the British Medical Association (BMA) have formally confirmed that there will be further industrial action by resident doctors for five days from 7am on 14 November to 7am on 19 November 2025.

As we move deeper into the winter season, I want to speak directly to all staff - particularly those in clinical and patient-facing roles - about the steep rise in flu cases and the critical role each of us plays in protecting our patients, our colleagues, and ourselves.

This weekend the nation commemorates those who participated in, or were affected by, conflicts around the world. Wreaths will be laid and Silences will be observed. Mersey Care has a long association with veterans and our sites have had links to war hospitals over the decades. We remember the fallen, their families and all those for whom war remains a major life experience. Colleagues may wish to take moment on the eleventh day, next Tuesday 11 November, to collect their own thoughts. Please feel free to do so, as appropriate to your work and share this important national moment.

“When I missed my flu jab in 2022, I never imagined I would end up in A&E on New Years Eve with Flu A."
