The Trustees of Wirral Postgraduate Medical Centre have confirmed that they can no longer fulfil their charitable objectives and therefore has made the decision to relinquish their lease on the Postgraduate Centre at Clatterbridge and from 1 August 2017 the Centre will be closed.
Wirral University Teaching Hospital has had a long established and valued relationship with the Trustees of the Charity and has endeavoured to support Education and Library facilities within the Postgraduate Centre.
Support for existing users at the Postgrad Centre Clatterbridge will continue until the end of July 2017 and where requested, users have been offered alternative venues for education meetings, study days, support groups etc at both Clatterbridge and Arrowe Park sites. Throughout this process the Medical Education team has been in discussions with the Multi-disciplinary Team (MDT) Co-ordinator to ensure patient safety remains a priority.
For any future meeting requirements please contact the Education Centre Reception, Telephone No.0151 604 7365 (internal Ext 8600) or the Clinical Skills Centre 0151 604 7721 (internal ext 8644) at Arrowe Park. Meeting room information for the Arrowe Park site can also be found here. For rooms bookings at Elm House, Clatterbridge please contact the Learning & Development Team on 0151 482 7981.
From the 1st August the J. Aitken Library Resource Room will be relocating to a new interim home in the ‘Holly’ room in Radiotherapy at Clatterbridge Cancer Centre (CCC), before being re-housed in a more permanent location. As a result of this move, CCC staff will have more convenient access to library space and resources. WUTH and Wirral Community Trust (WCT) staff should access the McArdle Library at Arrowe Park and visit our webpages for all library needs. If you’re based at the Clatterbridge site and need access to books, journals or computers please contact the Library & Knowledge Service and they will be able to provide advice and support. If there are any further questions or comments please contact Library & Knowledge Service at lks.wuth@nhs.net or via ext. 8610. Staff can also like the Library & Knowledge Service Facebook page for updates.
WUTH and the Trustees thank all Wirral Postgraduate Centre Users for their loyal support over the years.
