LPFT picks up two trophies in the 2024 Lincolnshire Care Awards

We were so pleased to see two of the Trust's teams take home a joint win at the 2024 Lincolnshire Care Awards, which aims to recognise those on the front line of care in the county.

Organised by the Lincolnshire Care Association, our Building Together Focus Group and Every Voice Patient Partners, were the joint winners of the Co-producing Together Award at the event.

The award recognises teams, services or providers that can demonstrate effective co-production with people and those who support them. The judges in this category were specifically looking for those who understand what true co-production means and can show effective change developed with people through valuing their insight and input from the start.

The Building Together Focus Group was nominated and won for its ongoing work supporting the design of our new acute wards in Lincoln and Boston. The group works together with our clinical staff to ensure the patient and carer voice is heard equally and to adopt a patient centred approach to shape the design and development.

The Every Voice Patient Partners were nominated and won for the various projects they have supported to date, not least the recent Every Voice People Awards.

We had four nominees in total:

• Liz Holmes, Assistant Practitioner in the Older Adults Community Mental Health Team in Grantham (Outstanding Partner Award).
• Community Mental Health Transformation Team (Co-producing Together Award).
• Every Voice Patient Partners (Co-producing Together Award).
• Building Together Focus Group (Co-producing Together Award).

Congratulations to both our winners and all those who were nominated!
