Media coverage
Tonight, Professor Rowan Pritchard Jones, Medical Director, will appear on BBC North West Tonight discussing the increased pressures facing the Trust as infection rates increase rapidly in our local communities.
The Trust is now treating more COVID positive patients than at any time in the pandemic, and the news item aims to appeal to the local community to follow the Government guidance and be more safety conscious in order to reduce the rate of infection.
The Trust has already expanded Intensive Care capacity, and as of this afternoon has 5 COVID cohort wards (details of ward specialties below).
As ever, your hard work during this challenging time is not taken for granted and we must do all we can to continue to support and look out for each other.
Please remember to stay safe, follow the Trust’s infection prevention guidance at all times, and if you feel that you need additional wellbeing support there are a range of services you can access; visit the Wellbeing section of the staff COVID website for more information:
