Wirral Community NHS Trust runs community services in the Wirral. It was established in April 2011. It operates three Wirral walk-in centres in Eastham, Wallasey and at Arrowe Park, the GP out-of-hours service and a minor injuries unit in Wallasey.[1] Two of the walk-in centres were inspected in September 2013 by the Care Quality Commission and both passed all aspects of checks that essential standards of quality and safety were being met.[2]

Services in the area were previously provided by Wirral and West Cheshire Community NHS Trust, and before that by the earlier Wirral Community NHS Trust, which was dissolved in 1997.[3]

It was named by the Health Service Journal as one of the top hundred NHS trusts to work for in 2015. At that time it had 1076 full-time equivalent staff and a sickness absence rate of 4.9%. 78% of staff recommend it as a place for treatment and 60% recommended it as a place to work.[4]
