Summary
Hartley Hospital was officially opened by Princess Anne in July 2021. It is a £21 million pound state of the art mental health facility and was named after the local jam-making family and philanthropist Christiana Hartley. It replaces the Boothroyd Unit and Hesketh Centre which previously provided mental health services in the Southport area. The hospital consists of 44 en-suite bedrooms and features inner garden courtyards, a caf, two gyms, a family visiting room and multi-faith area. Hartley Hospital takes a lot of features from Mersey Cares award-winning Clock View Hospital situated in the Walton area of Liverpool. Hartley Hospital accommodates inpatient services for General Adult mental health services in the form of Pine ward which is a 20 bedded mixed adult acute ward and Dunes ward which is a 20 bedded, primarily functional, older adults mental health ward. Community mental health teams for both General Adult and Older Adult services are based upstairs in Hartley Hospital. Irwell ward is a 20 bedded functional older adult ward based at Clock View Hospital in Walton, North Liverpool. Fern ward is a 17 bedded dementia ward based in Leigh Moss Hospital, Liverpool. There are well established and fully staffed community mental health teams for older adults in the Trust across the division, with Memory Services being well established. In addition, there are well resourced general hospital liaison services for older adults and adults within three acute Hospital Trusts, namely the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, Aintree University Hospital and Southport District Hospital. There are a range of other mental health services provided by Mersey Care including a 2 hour Urgent Community Response service, Armed Forces Community Services, CMAGIC (Cheshire & Merseyside Adult Gender Identity Collaborative), Criminal Justice Liaison & Diversion Service, Drug & Alcohol Services including the Hope Centre which offers inpatient detoxification programs, Learning Disabilities Services, Maternal Mental Health Services including a Specialist Perinatal Service, Mental Health Triage Car Services, a Psychotherapy & Personality Disorder Hub, Student Mental Health Services and The Life Rooms. There are Neuropsychiatry and Acquired Brain Injury Rehabilitation Services based at the Walton Centre on the Aintree University Hospital site. Foundation Trainees are posted on Dunes ward (1 x F1, 1 x F2 doctor) and are available to complete daily tasks and reviews for the inpatients as well as the postholder. There is a population of approximately 123,729 people in the Southport & Formby area, with 27.4% of this figure being accounted for by people over the age of 65 (33,902). Central Southport has the largest population compared with the other localities in Southport & Formby. Formby has the smallest population overall. Central Southport has the highest percentage of under 20s in the area and Formby has proportionally less under 20s compared to Southport. Please see job description for further details.
