A huge thank you Salome Mare-Walsh, after five years as the MECN Chair, Salome has stepped down. Salome has been inspirational, passionate and has made such a huge difference to the MECN and the Trust. We now have now elected a new Chair and Vice Chair.

We would like to encourage all our clinical and clinical support colleagues across the Trust to complete a short survey to help us better understand how effective our Electronic Patient Record (EPR) systems are in supporting you to do your job.

As we approach the end of 2024, we recognise it’s been a year of change and challenges, and we wanted to thank our Mersey Care family for your continued support, hard work, commitment, and teamwork.

From Monday, 13 January 2025, Hollins Park dispensary will be changing its ordering process to align with the process at Maghull Medicines Management department. Prescription requests must be emailed to pharmacyhp@merseycare.nhs.uk - the G-drive will no longer be used. For EPMA prescriptions - the dispensary will print prescriptions after an email from the ward pharmacist. For controlled drugs, prescribers must print as per the new control drug process.
