How to identify our staff

Get to know our different staff uniforms and what they mean

Your medical care will be managed by an expert team led by a consultant. You will see your consultant and other members of the medical team throughout your admission.

The team caring for you during your stay may be made up of Nursing staff, Medical staff, Pharmacists, Therapists, Radiographers, Dietitians, Ward Clerks plus many more.

You may meet some or all during your stay, but if you are not sure who somebody is please ask.

All staff wear identification badges which should be clearly displayed.

Students

Both Aintree and the Royal Liverpool are university hospitals and as such, there are a variety of students that learn on these sites. 

Medical students regularly attend ward rounds with the consultants in charge and medical teams as part of their training.

You will be informed if a student is present during any assessment or review. If you do not wish students to be present, please tell a member of the nursing team. Please be assured that this will not affect your treatment.
