What Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust does

Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust (LPT) is a publicly funded NHS Trust that provides integrated community and mental health services to approximately one million people across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. The Trust operates through three service divisions: Adult Mental Health Services, Families, Young People, Children's and Learning Disability and Autism Services, and Community Health Services. Its infrastructure includes eight community hospitals with 13 wards providing sub-acute, complex rehabilitation and end-of-life care, plus The Bradgate Mental Health Unit (seven acute admission wards and a 10-bedded male Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit), the Herschel Prins Centre for forensic mental health, and dedicated Mental Health Act Office operations handling 200-300 detained patients at any time and over 1,000 admissions to section per annum.

LPT's technology footprint comprises Electronic Health Records, patient data management systems, and a Digital Plan 2020-2024 covering digital service delivery platforms, online service finders, and analytics tooling. Patient-facing digital products include the LPT Falls App (for self-managed strength and balance), the Leicestershire Recovery College (an educational resource using a recovery-based approach), and the recently launched "While You Wait" online platform for patients awaiting mental health, CAMHS, and ADHD services. The Trust is a teaching body, conducting research and offering training placements for medical, psychology, nursing and therapy students.

As a statutory NHS body, LPT generates revenue through NHS England allocations and clinical commissioning group contracts financed by general UK taxation; services are provided free at the point of use and no commercial pricing applies. The Trust is CQC-regulated (provider RT5), operates a group arrangement with Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust under a shared THRIVE strategy, and is governed as a semi-autonomous public body accountable to Parliament and the CQC. Its sub-brand "Raising Health" operates as the Trust's affiliated charity.
