Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust (LCHS) and United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust (ULHT) have come together in a Group arrangement, with the goal of improving the care provided to patients across the county.
This will not constitute a formal merger of the two organisations, but will bring the Trusts together under a single Board and Executive Leadership Team, with the goal of improving the care that is provided to patients both in the community and in hospitals across Lincolnshire. Both Trusts will retain their separate statutory names and legal obligations.
Following an extensive staff and stakeholder engagement exercise, it has been decided that the Group will be known as Lincolnshire Community and Hospitals NHS Group (LCHG).
This arrangement has been put in place to improve how care is delivered to patients by working even closer together.
Group Strategic Plan
By coming together as a Group, we are looking at the ways we can work more effectively for our patients and our people. We firmly believe that this will bring great benefits to both ULHT and LCHS, and more importantly to our patients. Both organisations have lots to be proud of and have achieved many impressive things in recent years. Being part of a Group enables us to build on this and go further faster, for the benefit of our patients. Read more on the webpage.
