GOVERNOR PROFILE
DR ALEX TILL
I
currently work in Ashworth High Secure Hospital where we care for some of the most challenging patients in the country.
Recovery can be difficult, but despite the danger they pose to themselves or others, it’s amazing the progress that can be made as the team draws strengths from each other and we help patients when others may have lost hope in them, and they need our support the most. While I’m not from the city, I love Liverpool and have “grown up” in Mersey Care so to speak, working with some incredible people throughout the organisation and right across

Speciality registrar in forensic psychiatry and deputy lead governor
the city. Being a Governor is a chance to give something back. Now, more than at any other time, we’re seeing the difference that we can not only make to the person in front of us, but how we are responsible for and can have an impact on our wider community as well. Similarly to many of the patients I see, while we currently face much adversity, it’s inspiring to see how Mersey Care is not only surviving but thriving as individuals across the organisation support each other and emerge stronger.
We help patients when others may have lost hope in them and they need our support the most. To learn more about our Council of Governors, go to merseycare.nhs.uk
