Trust Wide Support Services News

Congratulations to our Estates and Facilities Team, they won the Estates Team of the Year Award at the IHEEM Healthcare and Estates Awards earlier this week.

After a details process of providing evidence, Trust finance leads are delighted to announce their 2024 accreditation status. The finance team, led by Chief Finance Officer Rob Collins, has this week seen their Level 3 score (the highest option they can achieve) ratified nationally. They’ve received notification from Via One NHS Finance and Skills Development Network which reflects the continuous development of NHS finance functions, including emphasis on their support for learning and staff development.

Mersey Care senior leaders showed their support for Count Me In at last week’s Annual General Meeting. Chief Executive Prof Joe Rafferty, CEO Designate Trish Bennett, Chair Rosie Cooper and others proudly displayed their support for the new scheme which will make it easier for more patients and service users to get involved in research activities.

Well done to our Patient Safety Team who were shortlisted for the Patient Safety Team of the Year Award at the HSJ Patient Safety Awards which took place earlier this week.

The Trust currently operates using several accounts within the NHS Supply Chain Logistics Online ordering system, with requisition points prefixed by either 05, 8Z, JV and HY. These accounts are shortly to be merged into one, with all requisition points now pre-fixed by HY.
