Alder Hey is creating a new facility to better support non-emergency cases, including a Paediatric Admissions Unit, Same Day Emergency Centre, and Urgent Treatment Centre. This will improve care, reduce waiting times, and ease staff pressure. The ED waiting room will temporarily move to Radiology on 7 January 2025 to enable construction.

Because of staffing challenges that Byron Ward on the Hollins Park Site has experienced, the service has made a decision to ensure patient and staff safety is maintained by closing Byron Ward. This closure is a short-term measure. When staffing improves, Byron ward will reopen and continue the care of our patients on the ward, at the Hollins Park Site and continue the planning to move to Linden ward.

The data captured between 12 to 18 December highlights how some of our Trust services are helping to alleviate the ongoing system pressures. The performance data for this period covers our triage cars, urgent treatment and walk-in centres, urgent community response teams, and mental health teams.

In 2022 our work towards our Perfect Care goal of "Zero acceptance of racism, discrimination, and unacceptable behaviours from and toward our workforce and our patients/service users, carers and families" began.
