One of our priorities is to provide colleagues with the tools and resources that allow you to take great care of yourself and others.

Our Life at LUHFT staff support offer brings together all the support available at the Trust and also national NHS support too.

Elaine Butchard, Interim Chief

People Officer, said: “Our priority at LUHFT is ensuring that we have the right things in place to support you. One of the key things that you have been telling us throughout all our staff surveys and big conversations, is that we need to make sure that we’re doing our best to look after you. To look after your physical, psychological, financial wellbeing and also to help support you during your whole career journey here in the organisation. This is why we have created a Life at LUHFT package that includes all the support available to you. “I recognise that households are facing a very challenging time. I want to assure all staff, whatever your role, you can access the support, help and advice available. We want to make sure that we care for you whilst you support us to provide great care to patients.” The Life at LUHFT offer focuses on four main sections: your physical wellbeing, mental wellbeing, financial wellbeing and working life. Whether you need physiotherapy support, financial awareness support, an eye test or support from the psychology service and counselling – there is a wide range of support options for you.

New end of life facility offers tranquil space for families

The Cherry Blossom Suite is now open in Aintree on the first floor, near the chapel.

The suite is for relatives and friends who are spending a significant period of time at the bedside of a dying loved one, that wish to take a short break.

The facility offers a calm and tranquil space with access to a shower/toiletries and light refreshments. Tina Willis, Palliative and End of Life Project Lead, said: “Many families and friends spend long periods of time in the hospital with their loved ones during the dying phase. It is important to support and provide facilities for the comfort of those important to the dying person.” To allow for as many families to benefit, time spent in the room will be limited to approximately 90 minutes. To check availability and reserve, contact either reception (who hold the key) on ext. 2060/5892.

Initial hours of opening are 8am-6.30pm Monday to Sunday.
