Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 recovery

LHIS were critical to the initial response to lockdown one. We supported several thousand NHS staff in LLR working from home and once the vaccination programme started we were also absolutely key to the establish of the IT Infrastructure for all the Vaccination Centres required in LLR. LHIS were nominated and won the LLR Award for COVID Hero’s for all the work we had done in response to COVID. I attach the nomination below. "We would like to nominate the team at Leicestershire Health Informatics for their outstanding work to keep us all IT operational during this challenging time. Without their continued dedication, as a system across Community, CCGs and Primary care we would not have been able to support remote working to keep our teams and our patients safe. In Particular we would like to highlight the efforts of Ian Wakeford, Tirath Singh, Chris Elliott and Jaz Dhinsa for all of their hard work and dedication in supporting the development and go live of our Covid vaccination sites. These individuals have been fundamental in the set up of our PCN hubs and have dealt with the daily challenge of the national directive changing ensuring they revisit our plans and adapt to ensure we can still deliver. They have achieved this through their own strong team working and working closely with our clinical and managerial teams and as we deployed our PCN teams. They have each taken clear ownership and responsibility over the IT delivery requirements. They have all gone above and beyond during this time helping to support the IT infrastructure on the ground where our teams are now delivering the vaccine. Every vaccine delivered is a life saved and the team at LHIS have played a huge part in helping us to achieve this delivery."
Equal opportunity

Equal opportunity

Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust (LPT) has designed and implemented policy documents that meet the diverse needs of our service, population and workforce, ensuring that none are placed at a disadvantage over others. It takes into account the provisions of the Equality Act 2010 and promotes equal opportunities for all. This policy has been assessed to ensure that no one receives less favourable treatment on the protected characteristics of their age, disability, sex (gender), gender reassignment, sexual orientation, marriage and civil partnership, race, religion or belief, pregnancy and maternity.

The Trust is committed to creating a culture where everyone has equal chances to improve their health and welfare in an environment free from any unlawful discrimination, harassment and bullying.

All job advertisements will include a statement to encourage applications from groups that are under-represented within the Trust. Any positive action initiatives to encourage such applications will keep to relevant legislation.

The Trust’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy 2021 - 2025 has been designed and developed to improve service delivery to the broader community and meet our public sector equality duty. The Trust will also aim to extend its focus to reduce the health inequalities and associated socio-economic factors. The objectives and any associated action plans for the next four years will focus on activity that improves outcomes for those most disadvantaged.
