Improving the health and wellbeing of communities across Liverpool

Liverpool and Sefton Health Partnership’s LIFT buildings across Liverpool are playing a key role in bringing a greater range of services under one roof - often in better environments - and facilitating programmes aimed at promoting healthier lifestyles.

The buildings host a wide range of community activities; including smoking cessation; alcohol support; slimming groups; citizens advice bureaus, through to MP drop in sessions and a wide range of counselling services. The table below provides a full list of services currently provided. Situated within the heart of the community, these flexible, modern buildings are well placed to meet the diverse - and often rapidly changing - health and wellbeing needs of the local communities that they serve.

Rapid premises adaptations create a Covid-19 HOT Hub in Liverpool

Liverpool & Sefton Health Partnership rapidly carried out a range of works to turn the South Liverpool Treatment Centre (SLTC) into a ‘Hot Hub’ for patients with Covid-19 symptoms. The building has been easily able to accommodate significant short-term premises adaptions with an eye on what longer term and perhaps permanent changes may be needed.

During the works, SLTC remained open and continued to offer limited services for green patients (non Covid) including phlebotomy, treatment rooms, urgent podiatry, and

anti-coagulation clinics.

With the co-operation of tenants, these services were relocated from Garston Suite to other clinical zones around the building, observing social distancing 2m rules and by appointment only. The two GP Practices and child immunisations continued in the GP area, by appointment only. The pharmacy on site also remained open. Read the full case study here:

LSHP achieves RoSPA Gold Award for fifth year running

Liverpool & Sefton Health Partnership Ltd has been awarded the RoSPA Gold Medal (5 consecutive Golds) Award.

The Gold award in the prestigious annual scheme is run by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA).

As the UK’s family safety charity, RoSPA’s mission to save lives and reduce injuries covers all ages and stages of life. In support of this mission, the RoSPA Awards, which celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2016, recognise commitment to continuous improvement in accident and ill health prevention at work. Through the scheme, which is open to businesses and organisations of all types and sizes from across the UK and overseas, judges consider entrants’ overarching occupational health and safety management systems, including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement.

David Rawlins, RoSPA’s awards manager, said: “The RoSPA Awards encourage improvement in occupational health and safety management. Organisations that gain recognition for their health and safety management systems, such as Liverpool & Sefton Health Partnership Ltd, contribute to raising standards overall and we congratulate them.”

Chair of Liverpool and Sefton Health Partnership, Humphrey Claxton said: “This is a great achievement. We take health and safety very seriously at LSHP and it is reassuring to have external confirmation that we are managing it well year after year. Congratulations to everyone involved”.

The majority of RoSPA’s awards are non-competitive, grading achievement at merit, bronze, silver and gold levels. Organisations that maintain high standards in consecutive years can win gold medals, president’s awards and orders of distinction.
