Trust news

Some great news from the female ward at Aspen Wood, our new low secure site in Maghull. Ward manager Phil Searle wants to thank all his team, but is this week highlighting the new nurses, graduating from Edge Hill University. Well done to Nicole, Laura, Stephanie, Jack, Catherine, Tabot, Dorothy, Rebecca, Lorraine, Danielle and Valetina.

Secure division’s Service User and Carer Engagement Co-ordinator Tracy Collard retires this week.

Client specific activities should be documented within the client's appointment record.

In line with continued efforts to improve patient contact details, NHS England will shortly begin contacting a small number of patients with out of date contact details via the NHS App to request that they update their information.

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.
