Trust news

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.

Due to the August bank holiday (26 August 2024), deadlines for weekly payroll have been amended as follows: for hours worked 19 to 25 August, please finalise no later than 8.30am on Tuesday, 27 August. This is to ensure payment on Friday, 30 August.
