LIVING OUR
by LUHFT
Our values are 'the way we do things around here'. They are the very core of who we are, for every colleague, patient and individual who comes into contact with us. Our values enable us to work together more effectively and to deliver great patient care more consistently.
We see examples of our values in practice on a daily basis, and each month we will celebrate individuals or teams who are clearly caring, fair and innovative.

Team LUHFT are busy bee-ing sustainable!
The Sustainability Team are running a ‘Bee Healthy’ project at LUHFT to improve the biodiversity of our sites and engage patients, staff, and the wider community with nature.
This includes two bee hives installed at the rear of Learning and Development building at Aintree in May and lots of no-mow areas across Broadgreen and Aintree this summer. The team has also launched a sunflower challenge seed giveaway, with free seed packs available for people to grow at home to support pollinators.
Develop your skills with an apprenticeship
Did you know even if you’re working at LUHFT you can take on an apprenticeship to build on your career skills? Katie Jewell contacted our Learning and Development team to do just that!
Katie Jewell, Project Co-ordinator, is due to complete her Chartered Business Degree Apprenticeship this year, she said: “This has been an excellent opportunity to enhance my skills and personal development in work, but to also challenge myself and achieve further qualifications.
“Since leaving school 11 years ago and going straight into work, I’d not done academic work, therefore to pass each module and to receive really positive feedback from my tutors has been great. Throughout this three-year course I have grown in confidence and acquired valuable skills and experience within Business Management that I can apply to my current role.
“I’ve been given plenty of guidance and motivation from the L&D team. I’m due to finish my apprenticeship, and I have already progressed into the next step of my career and got a new role within the Trust starting this year.”
