Mersey Care is one of only three Trusts in the country to provide high secure services, with our catchment area covering Wales and the North West and West Midlands of England. We also provide medium and low secure services, community forensic services and mental health services in a number of prisons, including HMP Liverpool. Many of our services are located on Maghull Health Park, which offers one of the largest concentrations of clinical expertise in secure care in Europe and we have locations in Liverpool, the Ribble Valley and Hollins Park in Warrington.
As well as mental health care, we offer specialist learning disability services providing treatment for adults with a learning disability or other development disorder. We support people with significant and complex needs both in inpatient settings and through community based services.
