Quality, recovery and wellbeing are at the heart of everything that we do. Mersey Care is a Global Digital Exemplar • In 2017 Mersey Care successfully attracted £5m of central NHS funding to accelerate our ambition to digitally transform our services. We are working on a number of projects looking at delivering exceptional care, efficiently, through the use of world- class digital technology and information. These projects include an innovative caseload dashboard for community mental health nurses and an electronic prescribing system. Our vision, values and aims – “Striving for Perfect Car e” Perfect Care means: • Setting our own stretching goals for improvements in care rather than aiming to meet minimum standards set by other organisations • Getting the basics of care right every time. • Making improvements to the care we provide because we know it’s the right thing to do for patients and because we care about the care that we provide. • Helping people to try improvements, learn from their mistakes, and apply what works more rapidly. • Helping our people to innovate in ways that create better quality and outcomes for the people we serve whilst reducing cost. Our goals for zero suicides for people in our care, no force first (zero physical or medication-led restraint), physical health and a just culture are all about providing perfect care for the people we serve. Our values are those of: • Continuous improvement • Accountability • Respect • Enthusiasm • Support 2 Our Strategic Aims are: • Our services – this is all about how we will improve the quality of our services, and strive to provide safe, timely, effective, equitable and person-centred care every time, for every service user, every day, this means getting the basics of care right consistently, repeatedly and predictably. For example when a service user receives information about their appointment, when medication is dispensed or when care plans are produced. • Our people – This is all about supporting our staff to do the best job that they can and working alongside service users and carers to design our future services together. Our Personal Achievement Contribution Evaluation system and Strive, Thrive and Drive leadership programmes are all ways in which we support our staff. • Our resources – This is all about making sure that we spend every pound we receive in the best way possible. We have to continue to provide high quality services within a tighter budget. Every member of staff can help us to this every day by looking after Mersey Care’s resources like they would their own. We also develop our building and IT systems to help to provide the best care possible and help our staff do the best job they can. • Our future - It is important that the trust looks to the future to grow and develop our services, building on research and innovation from our staff. We want to take opportunities to work with primary care, to join up physical and mental health care and to work closely with other mental health and learning disability trusts. Every member of staff can propose innovative ideas to improve Mersey Care’s services, either by discussing ideas with their team or manager, or even directly with the Chief Executive. Trust Details • As of the 1st April 2018 the Trust comprises four Clinical Divisions supported by our Corporate Services Division based at our offices in Prescot, Merseyside. Over 8,000 staff serve a population of almost 11 million people. • Community and Local Services Divisions provide; community health services to Liverpool CCG and South Sefton CCG residents, in partnership with North West Boroughs Foundation Trust; specialist inpatient and community Mental Health, Learning Disabilities, Addiction management and acquired Brain Injury services for the people of Liverpool, Sefton and Kirkby, Merseyside. • Secure and Specialist Learning Disability Divisions provide; high secure mental health services for the North West of England, the West Midlands and Wales; medium and low secure services more locally for men and women with mental disorders; provides secure Learning Disability services across Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Merseyside. This is currently delivered from the former Calderstones NHS Trust site in Whalley Lancashire. 3 During 2018/19, Mersey Care: • provided care, treatment and support to 20,621 service users from May 2017 to March 2019 (20,387 in local services and 240 in secure services) • across over 36 sites both of its own and premises rented from others • had 760 inpatient beds as at 31 March 2018 • had 351,306 outpatient attendances and contacts (Statistics based on audited figures for 2018/19) • 2020 is an exciting and challenging year for Mersey Care NHS FT. We are four years through a five year programme of organisational and service transformation in order to improve the quality of the care that we provide and safely reduce our costs, so that we can continue to invest in meeting considerably in new buildings and technology, and very importantly, support our frontline staff to continue to improve the service they provide. • On 1st April 2018 the Trust acquired Liverpool Community Health services following a tender process with a plan to deliver a truly integrated Bio-Psycho-Social community health service in Liverpool and South Sefton. Service details • The Local Division operates a total of 18 adult Community Mental Health Teams (CMHTs) based in 7 community hub sites across Merseyside, Sefton and parts of Knowsley. • All our adult CMHTs operate within a “functional model” meaning that the post holder will work with community patients only and are not required to maintain responsibility for inpatients, as we have our own dedicated inpatient multi-disciplinary service, with whom CMHTs have excellent working relationships and lines of communication. The greatest advantage to this model being that the post holder can solely focus on CMHT responsibilities with reduced travel between sites. • The 2 post holders will provide medical leadership into the Arundel CMHT, based in Baird House Community Hub. There are currently 4 part time consultants in the Arundel CMHT which is being reconfigured into 2 new full time posts and one existing part time (0.7 sessions). The consultants vacating the posts have been in Arundel CMHT for many years and have established excellent teams and processes. Two of them are moving into retirement and one is moving on to set up a new service elsewhere in the trust. • The Arundel CMHT covers a wide and diverse area of central and south Liverpool including Wavertree, Kensington and Aigburth. The area is diverse socioeconomically, ethnically and culturally creating a really interesting, challenging and varied post. 4 • Arundel CMHT is based in Baird House Hub, which is also base for one of our bordering teams, Windsor House CMHT (covering Toxteth, Dingle, city centre); the Early Intervention in Psychosis Teams (EIT) for Liverpool and North Liverpool; and the Homelessness Outreach Team (HOT). It is a thriving hub, with lots of activity and excellent relationships between different teams and colleagues. • Baird House Hub is located close to the city centre within the Liverpool Innovation Park (LIP) on Edge Lane which directly links Liverpool city centre with the M62, making for a straightforward commute if living outside of Liverpool. LIP is also home to Mersey Care’s Community Health team. There is an on-site coffee shop; lots of outdoor green space including designated area to eat lunch in the summer; and a gym. Within walking distance is a new shopping and entertainment complex with various high street stores, restaurants and cafes. There is adequate free parking within the LIP complex. • Baird House itself has a variety of work spaces including 10 individual consulting rooms. The consultants are largely consulting room based; however, the rooms are used by other practitioners when not in use by the consultants. There are meeting rooms and quiet spaces of various sizes and a clinic room for physical health monitoring and depot clinics. There is a large, welcoming reception area with easy access to the consulting rooms. There is also a well equipped kitchen/dining area for staff to use. The main hub works on a hot desking principle with each team having their own designated area. Admin staff are also based in Baird House which enables excellent communication and support across the teams. There is keenness within the Hub to ensure staff wellbeing, learning, personal development and support.
