LPFT at a glance
We provide more than 50 services across the county and work together with our partners to ensure that everyone who comes through our doors receives compassionate, person-centred care, regardless of their background or circumstances.
We began in 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. Five years later, in October 2007, we were one of the first trusts to become a foundation trust. Today we are called Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (or LPFT for short) and continue to strive to deliver the very best care for our local community.
