Trust news

There are new dates for the Perinatal Mental Health Awareness Training for Urgent Care Services in Cheshire and Mersey: These sessions are for anyone working in Urgent Mental Health Care Services (e.g. Crisis Line, First Response, Home Treatment, Liaison Psychiatry, etc) in Cheshire, Knowsley, Halton, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens, Warrington and Wirral.

Ahead of International Nurses’ Day on 12 May, our celebration will be held on Friday, 8 May at Aintree Racecourse.

We are sending our apologies for the delays to allergy results throughout February. These were caused by intermittent analyser faults. The analyser is now fully operational, and our recovery plan is underway. We expect to clear the backlog within the next week.

Innovative work is continuing with Mersey Care Integrated Care Teams and Prima Housing through the Healthy @ Home pilot. This partnership brings health and housing together to support tenants to stay well in their own homes.

Council elections will take place in Sefton, Knowsley, St Helens and Halton on Thursday, 7 May, and NHS England has shared the latest pre-election guidance. Here you will find more detail, and some key considerations. Our external communications activities necessary for operational delivery purposes will continue as usual. It’s important during this period that the NHS must act and be seen to act with political impartiality and our resources should not be used for party political purposes.
