Outstanding care recognised

Dedicated mental health and learning disability nurses, healthcare support workers and psychologists have been recognised for their work.

The thirteenth annual Team Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (LPFT) Values Awards was attended by 250 staff and volunteers, many of whom had been nominated by colleagues, service users, carers, families, and members of the public.

“It’s a privilege to be a part of the Team LPFT Values Awards. Recognising our staff and volunteers is so important,” said Kevin Lockyer, Trust Chair.  

“The winners, finalists and everyone who received a nomination should feel proud of their achievements as it is a reflection of the hard work and dedication they show every day.” 

The ten award categories, which included Everyday Excellence, Innovation and Improvement, Leading by Example, and Volunteer of the Year, all showcased the brilliant work staff and volunteers are doing across NHS mental health services. Daniel Thompson, Apprentice Social Worker was the winner of the Everyday Excellence Award: “I am delighted to win this award. I feel overwhelmed by the whole experience.

”I have been in LPFT for a few years, but I only recently qualified, so this award has really given me the confidence that my work is recognised. LPFT is full of people who do great things and I hope by winning this award, it will promote the amazing things that social workers do every day.”

Lauren Worthington commented on the success of the Core Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) winning the Innovation and Improvement Award. She said: “I’m really proud of all the teams in CAMHS Service and everything we have achieved. Together we support young people who are experiencing mental health difficulties across the entire County and this award is for them. We are all delighted to win.”
