November is Mouth cancer Awareness month, and the staff at River Alt Dental Service acknowledged ‘Blue Wednesday’ a day dedicated to raising awareness of mouth cancer as part of Mouth Cancer Action Month. We want to get the message across to our patients and all the staff working in Mersey Care, how important it is to look out for tell tale signs

Congratulations to our Organisational Effectiveness Team, earlier this week they won the Best Public Organisation Award at the national Business Culture Awards. This prestigious award recognises the team’s outstanding work in cultural innovation and the development of an assessment and triage model. In addition to this achievement, the team were also shortlisted for the Best Employee Initiative for the ‘Your Voice Your Change’ methodology which we have used to listen to our workforce in a more in depth way rather than the use of traditional surveys. The Business Culture Awards highlight how a strong culture can drive performance, resilience and innovation. Congratulations!

As a token of appreciation, the team received a special tea, coffee, and biscuit hamper, celebrating their commitment to best practice and patient care.
