The Lincolnshire based mental health and learning disabilities trust was re-inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in October last year and has been rated Outstanding for its leadership and management, and retained an overall rating of Good.

When the CQC last visited Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust in April 2017, the Trust was praised for the progress it had made but there were a number of areas identified as requiring improvement. Since then the organisation continued to focus on the quality of its services and making continuous improvement everyone’s business.

The key highlights from the 2019 report ratings include:

• Acute mental health wards for adults and community mental health services are now rated Good.
• Mental health services for people with a learning disability or autism are now rated Outstanding for well-led and Good overall.

Anne-Maria Newham, MBE, Interim Chief Executive, said: “I am extremely pleased that the hard work of all of our staff has been reflected in the CQC ratings and that all services inspected in 2018 moved from Requires Improvement to Good. Our staff have a real focus on providing high quality care for our patients and this latest report is testament to that commitment.

“I am particularly proud of our Outstanding well-led result. We have gone from strength to strength since our original inspection in 2015 when we were rated Requires Improvement overall, Good in 2017 and now Outstanding for well-led and Good overall. There is a great deal we can be proud of in this report but we are not complacent and will continue to work to improve our services for patients, concentrating on the areas highlighted by the CQC.

“I also wish to put on record my thanks to our staff, service users, volunteers and carers who help us by sharing their views on an ongoing basis, including giving their feedback to the CQC during the inspection.  These views and support are crucial to us so that we can continue to improve the services we provide.”

During the recent visit the CQC found areas of outstanding practice which included:

• Significant improvements in core services and impressive ongoing improvements to the quality of care across the Trust as a whole.
• Significant decrease in numbers of patients who receive their care outside of Lincolnshire, and since the Hartsholme Centre opened in July 2017 no male patients have been placed out of county for psychiatric intensive care.
• Staff and leaders demonstrated a culture of putting patients first and working together. The inspectors noted a true sense of involvement from staff, patients and carers towards driving sustainable improvements across all areas.
• Engagement with both staff and patients was evident and fundamental to the way the Trust makes decisions about changes and managing of services. Peer support workers, experts by experience and clinical apprentices are not only valued in teams but they are an integral part.
• Leadership had been invested in at all levels so that staff have the right skills, behaviours, knowledge and experience to challenge if necessary while delivering quality care.
• Staff reported that they could approach the ward managers, who would make time to speak with them.
• The records of service users’ care and treatment were recovery orientated and reflected their views and goals.
• When interacting with service users staff were respectful and responsive and they protected service users’ privacy and dignity.

Paul Devlin, LPFT Chair said: “The report clearly showed that our exemplary commitment to equality and diversity made a huge difference to staff who report they are proud to work for the Trust and to service users who receive good quality compassionate care. I feel privileged to be the chair of LPFT and see the progress we’ve made which has been recognised in our Outstanding rating for well-led.

“I would like to thank everyone who has worked so hard to make it a possibility.”

The CQC has also raised some minor points that the Trust is already working on including reviewing caseloads at community mental health teams, ongoing support for autistic spectrum disorders and minor estate issues.

Grantham Town are excited to announce the intention to field a Women’s side for the 2019/20 season.

The side will be looked after by the Grantham Sports Academy, who will also be offering a Scholarship studying BTEC Sport of A-Levels for all 16-19 year old girls.

The Gingerbreads Chairman, Nigel Wedgwood explained the reason for adding the side “We recognise that as a club we need to be inclusive for all and by having no women’s side we were failing this. Working alongside the Academy we’ve identified what we can offer.”

The new women’s side will compete at Step 7 in the women’s football pyramid, matches will take place on a Sunday on the main pitch at the Meres.

Grantham Sports Academy Manager Alex Watson “It’s great that we’re now able to add the women’s programme to the Academy. The courses give preferential access to our three degree programmes with Loughborough and Nottingham Trent Universities”

The Club are holding an evening for those interested in joining the new side or to become part of the 2019 Academy Scholarship. This will take place on Tuesday 29th January from 7:30pm till 9pm.

Newark M&S store gets the axe too

A push to boost membership of Grantham Twinning Association – and help visitors from its German twin town feel even more welcome – is to benefit from a donation by South Kesteven District Councillor Jacky Smith.

Grantham is twinned with Sankt Augustin, in the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

The twinning club has 29 members and is hoping to increase this number to give more opportunities for Grantham based clubs and groups.

The £100 grant will help meet the costs of pamphlets and publicity to increase activity in Grantham.

Cllr Smith, who is Cabinet Member for Communities, Health, Wellbeing and Skills, said: “Over the years the twinning club has done a lot to promote Grantham when they have been over in Germany, which has brought visitors back to our town.

“For a long time we have felt like the poor relations of the two because the Germans always provide our visitors there with some very nice brochures and souvenirs and it is about time, that when they come here, we can do the same for them. They are always trying to attract members and this push is part of that.”

Twinning Association chairman Dennis Hannant said: “This money is very welcome. It will help us produce a new membership pamphlet explaining our aims, as well as helping design and launch a facebook page. We’d like to increase membership by another ten hosting families.”

EXCLUSIVE: UKIP PPC For Grantham & Stamford BLASTS Boles

Youngsters are set to benefit from a complete overhaul of play equipment in Grantham’s Dysart Park, thanks to a £55,000 grant.

The money, awarded by WREN’s FCC Community Action Fund, will pay for the refurbishment of the park’s play area including resurfacing and the supply and installation of new equipment.

The grant was made following a successful bid by South Kesteven District Council, which owns the park, and Dysart Park Action Group.

The Action Group raised almost £6,000 in match funding to support the bid, mainly through its annual Summer Fun Days. At the 2018 event refurbishment options were on show and visitors voted for their favourite.

SKDC Cabinet Member for Retail and Visitor Economy, Cllr Nick Robins, said the investment would make a huge difference to the park, which is visited by around 30,000 people a year.

“It’s fantastic that WREN has awarded this money. This is a very important community facility and the work will only add to its appeal,” he said.

“This is just the start of work as SKDC is committed to investing further in not only Dysart Park, but all of the parks it owns.”

WREN is a not-for-profit business that awards grants for community, biodiversity and heritage projects from funds donated by FCC Environment through the Landfill Communities Fund.

Cheryl Raynor, WREN’s local grant manager said: “We are delighted to be supporting the Dysart Park refurbishment project and pleased that our funding will provide such a fantastic facility for children.

“WREN is always happy to consider grant applications for projects that make a difference to local communities and we’re really looking forward to seeing this one take shape.”

The park site was given to the people of Grantham in 1908 by Sir Lionel William John Manners, late Earl of Dysart. In his will he stated that the land should be used for recreation purposes only.

District councillors Michael Cook and Graham Jeal are members of the Action Group, while officers prepared the application for WREN funding.

Cllr Jeal said: Dysart Park is a popular and well-used community park. The Action Group has worked hard over several years to deliver the Dysart Park Fun Day, which has generated the match funding resources for this redevelopment of the children’s play area.

“I congratulate all those hard-working volunteers for this fantastic achievement and thank all those who have made the Fun Day such a success. I look forward to working with SKDC to continue investment in Dysart Park.”

Lydia Gallaher, chairman of the Action Group, said: “The council support has been invaluable. It was recognised that areas of the park required improvement, with the play area being the start.

“Although money generated from the Fun Days has allowed for the purchase of park benches in the past, it is a welcome achievement for the Action Group, in partnership with the council, to be able to make more of an impact.

“The benefit to the community will be that families, especially those with young children, will soon be able to enjoy new and exciting play equipment, making the park an even more attractive place to visit.

“The Action Group has worked hard over the years to promote and improve the park. The successful WREN application and the new play equipment it pays for will make that hard work and dedication worthwhile.”

The Action Group has eight volunteers, and is always on the lookout for more. It organises family events, including the Fun Day, and raises money to improve the park. The volunteers meet every four to six weeks with breaks in the summer and at Christmas.

“We attend the meetings to provide input in discussions about the park and its events and to support the work of the Action Group towards improving the park or laying on events,” said Lydia.

“Volunteers are always welcome to join and play their part in helping to shape and develop what is a very popular park that hold a special place in people’s affections.”

Work on the play area is expected to start in March and take up to three weeks to complete.
