Trust news

In response to increased demand on Mersey Care’s Section 136 suites, to reduce inpatient admissions, avoid delays and help to speed up mental health processes, the Mental Health Triage Response Team was set up at the end of October 2023.

Community mental health services asked staff if they’d like to volunteer to work over a seven day period to help support our service users care and reduce crisis presentations and attendance at A&E.

We have been asked by the Department of Health and Social Care to develop a dashboard to support the early identification of patient safety indicators on a mental health ward.

We wanted to write to both acknowledge and thank you for all the efforts from you and your team this calendar year.

On 30 November Liverpool Step Forward Mental Health Service will be celebrating the retirement of Sarah McCormack, who has been working as part of the Trust for over 30 years.
