Trust news

Pat McKnight is retiring on 15 November 2024 after over 35 years working for the NHS. Pat has worked as a speech and language therapist and part of the children, young people and families leadership team in Knowsley for over 35 years, making a huge difference to the lives of children, their families and her colleagues during this time.

We have enhanced and improved our ‘Help Us Help You’ webpage to give Cheshire and Merseyside residents advice and tips to support their general wellbeing this winter. The webpage is a one stop shop for tips and advice on how to look after physical and mental health, with the aim of keeping residents away from hospitals and inpatient units, which are traditionally high in demand during winter.

The data captured between 31 October to 6 November, highlights how some of our Trust services are helping to alleviate the ongoing system pressures. The performance data for this period covers our urgent treatment and walk-in centres, Core 24 teams, urgent care and our mental health teams.
