Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (LPFT) was established on 1 June 2002 when social care and health services formerly provided by Lincolnshire County Council and Lincolnshire Healthcare NHS Trust, were brought together to create new mental health and learning disabilities services. We were then authorised as a foundation trust on 1 October 2007. We provide care and treatment for a local population of some 718,800 people, as well as specialist services for people who live in other areas of the East Midlands. We have around 2,000 members of staff across many disciplines of mental health, learning disability and social care, who provide the best possible care and support for you. We are focused on helping people towards recovery, enabling them to live well in their community as much as possible. We work closely with the local community to design and improve services, ensuring what we provide is best suited to you, your carers and your other family members. Our vision is to support people to live well in their communities, and to do this it is important that patients, service users and carers remain at the heart of what we do. The Trust is also committed to a number of values as an organisation, which include; compassion, pride, integrity, valuing everybody, innovation, and collaboration. We continue to strengthen our vision and values and embed throughout the organisation to ensure that every member of staff is committed to making a difference.
