Public invited to comment on merger of two Liverpool hospital trusts
Clinicians at the two trusts believe they can improve patient care by becoming one organisation that would be responsible for managing services at Aintree University Hospital, the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, Broadgreen Hospital and Liverpool University Dental Hospital, which would all keep their existing names after the merger.
They have been working together on recommendations to bring services together for a number of years and are now inviting the public to comment on what the trusts could achieve by working together and share their views on how services can be improved.
The plans for the proposed merger would see the new organisation, which would be called Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, formed in October. This is subject to the decision making process of NHS regulators, which need to assess the plans.

- 10 May, 10.00am – 12.30pm, The Accelerator Building, Prescot Street, L7 8XP
