Family Liaison team

HELPING YOU TO KEEP IN TOUCH!

In order to prevent the spread of COVID 19 The Trust has had to restrict visitors to the hospitals.

The trust realises how important it is for families to keep in touch especially when they are in hospital, and have developed the Family Liaison team who will;

• Help patients make contact with their families/friends/carers
• Provide communication media such as video calls for patients and their families
• Sit with patients who may be feeling lonely
• Arrange for a patient’s personal belongings to be brought to them as necessary
• Pass messages from patients to family members

Operating hours

9am-8pm, 7 days a week

Locations of Service

Across all MFT inpatient services

The Communications Team is the first point of contact for all media enquiries and photography, filming and interview requests at MFT.

During office hours (Monday to Friday 9.00am – 5.00pm) all media enquiries should be directed to the Communications Team via email pressoffice@mft.nhs.uk or by calling 0161 276 5875

Please only use this number for media enquiries. For all other enquiries please contact the switchboard.

Media queries in relation to patients must include the patient’s:

• Date of birth
• Home address
• Patient number

We cannot consider queries without these. We also need written confirmation from the patient or their Next of Kin (if they have no capacity) that we can comment on their situation.

For out of hours media enquiries please contact switchboard via 0161 276 1234 and you will be directed to the on call communications lead.

We are committed to protecting patients’ confidentiality. We cannot provide any information about a patient unless we are given permission from the individual or their next of kin.

We are able to give a basic condition check to the media where a named individual has been identified and the patient or their next of kin has given consent for this information to be released. Requests for condition checks should be made to the Communications Team.

Legal correspondence

All legal correspondence should, in the first instance, be sent to claims@mft.nhs.uk and not to any other of our contact email addresses.
