The aim of the project is to donate a Rucksack filled with vital items to help homeless people on Wirral survive the Winter months. In November Healthwatch Wirral held a Winter Warmer event (report to follow) where we gave away gloves, hats, scarves and blankets. These items were made and donated by Wirral residents. At the event, some people gave a contribution towards the cost of these items. Healthwatch used this money to purchase toiletries, tins of food and socks and these items have been donated to the Rucksack Project. (See picture below) Christmas drink and drug driving campaign 2015 Merseyside Police has launched its Christmas drink and drug driving campaign on Tuesday, 1st December Officers from the roads policing unit will be stepping up patrols throughout the month-long campaign, which runs until Friday, 1 January 2015. They will be paying particular attention to hotspot areas in the evenings and early in the morning, to target those who are risking driving the morning after drinking or taking drugs the night before. The aim of the campaign is to reduce the number of road deaths and serious injuries on the roads of Merseyside and to raise the awareness of the dangers around driving while over the prescribed limit or impaired through drugs.

Police supported by local councillors Pat Cleary, Jean Stapleton and Sharon O'Brien and Wirral home watch co-ordinator Jeff Judge visited homes in Birkenhead to offer reassurance messages and crime prevention advice. Householders were also given property marking kits and advice on how to use them and encouraged to fill in a crime prevention survey. In a separate operation last week - in response to concerns from members of the public about anti-social behaviour in around public houses in Birkenhead and Wallasey - officers with police dogs, council's licence enforcement team and partner agencies carried out a walkthrough of licensed premises.

After forming as a group earlier this year, ten critical care nurses, two domestic workers and a dietician set themselves the goal of recording their very first album. The Intensive Care Unit looks after some of the most seriously ill and unwell patients in Wirral. All proceeds from the sale of the CD will help purchase iPads for the unit as this modern technology is used in rehabilitation to help patients communicate with staff. The tablets will also be set up for video messaging so patients can keep in close contact with their loved ones during their stay in hospital. The group, called ‘One Voice Together’, spent a recent afternoon recording the album at Steel Studios in Birkenhead. This story was taken from Wirral Globe.

  • 6 Merseyside
    6 Merseyside 6.1 Administrative set-up Merseyside takes its name from the River Mersey and is a metropolitan county in North West England. Merseyside came into existence as a metropolitan county in 1974, after the passage of the Local Government Act 1972, and the county consists of five metropolitan boroughs adjoining the Mersey Estuary, including the City of Liverpool. Merseyside encompasses about 645 km2 (249 sq miles) and has a population of around 1,350,100 (Office of National Statistics). Number of Males Females Total Area Merseyside people per (thousands) (thousands) (thousands) (hectares) hectare Knowsley 71.7 79.1 150.8 8629.3 17.48 Liverpool 212.7 222.8 435.5 11159.08 39.03 Sefton 131.3 144.9 276.2 15455.66 17.87 St Helens 86.5 91 177.5 13589.08 13.06 Wirral 147.7 162.4 310.1 15704.9 19.75 Total 649.9 700.2 1350.1 64538.02 107.19 Table 3 Demographics of Merseyside (sourced various from ONS www.statistics.gov.uk) Merseyside County Council was abolished in 1986, and so its districts (the metropolitan boroughs) are now essentially unitary authorities. However, the metropolitan county continues to exist in law and as a geographic frame of reference. Merseyside is divided into two parts by the Mersey Estuary: the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral is located to the west of the estuary on the Wirral Peninsula; the rest of the county is located on the eastern side of the estuary. The eastern boroughs of Merseyside border Lancashire to the north and Greater Manchester to the east, and both parts of Merseyside, west and east of the estuary, border Cheshire to the south.

  • Palliative Care Medicines Supply – Primary Care
    Palliative Care Medicines Supply – Primary Care COVID-19 Suspected or Confirmed The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way patients are reviewed in primary care and will increase demand for palliative care medicines as more patients are palliated in their usual place of residence, be it care home or own home. It is noted that demise from COVID-19 in the frail and elderly has been sadly very rapid and the need for palliation in this scenario is for short time periods. This document describes the various clinical streams through which patients may be managed. The main aim of this document is to facilitate the timely access to medicine for patients (NHSE recommendation is <1hour from prescription to delivery1) and to preserve stock / reduce wastage as these medicines are likely to be subject to supply shortages. Amendments may be made to the appendices within this document without a full review of this document. Relevant parties will be notified of any updates. 1.0 Discharge from Hospice or Acute Trust to Usual Place of Residence • Ward based prescriber (medical and non-medical) to generate prescription in accordance with usual process by ward based prescribers Electronic signature acceptable for St John’s Hospice or WUTH for supply (wet ink requirement relaxed during COVID-19 period by CDAO-WUTH). • Ward based prescriber or pharmacist to generate PMAC (patient medicines administration chart).
