Free story telling sessions, funded by Liverpool & Sefton Health Partnership, were held at Childwall Library during halfterm. Author and Professional Storyteller, Jude Lennon, led the sessions for children aged between 4 and 11 years old. As you can see from the photo below, the stories had a very happy ending.
It is our pleasure to announce that keynote speaker Steve Rotheram, Metro Mayor, Liverpool City Region, will join us on the 15 November to consider how we best utilise the existing primary and community care estate across Liverpool and Sefton to support the NHS and Local Authorities to reshape health and care services to deliver improved health outcomes for our local communities.
This event, to be held at Kensington Neighbourhood Health Centre, presents us with an opportunity to reflect on the past successes, collaborate with our fellow colleagues, encourage inspired discussions, and share innovative ideas. With a view to better understand the role that the primary and community care estate can have in changing health inequalities, how estate can continue to support NHS recovery plans and forge a collective approach as we build strong and effective Integrated Care Systems that are equipped to tackle existing and upcoming challenges such as shifting more activity out of hospital into local communities.

It's great to see Clock View Hospital named as a finalist in the Architecture Today Awards for buildings that have stood the test of time! The awards recognise projects that have been in use for at least three years, and which can demonstrate a strong track record for delivering on their environmental, functional, community and cultural ambitions.
Completed in 2015, Clock View Hospital set a new national benchmark in mental health facility design, due to the quality of its therapeutic environment and the level of engagement with the community it serves. The building presents a positive frontage to the surrounding neighbourhood, creating a strong local connection and projecting a message of openness and inclusivity.
Designed for future flexibility and adaptability to respond to changing patient needs and models of care, the building continues to provide an environment which supports the wellbeing of patients and staff, creating a supportive space for recovery.
The judges said of the scheme: “Unlike many mental health buildings, which are tucked away out of sight, this hugely successful project brings essential facilities into the heart of the city.”
