Liverpool Primary Care Trust works with a wide variety of partners to ensure the delivery of world class services and improve health and wellbeing. This includes offering ongoing support to children, vulnerable adults and older people, and exploring new approaches to health such as using arts and culture.
Not only does this partnership include the NHS family of service providers - 'NHS Liverpool' - it also encompasses
Liverpool City Council,
Merseyside Police,
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service,
Liverpool First, third sector and local providers, employment services, Registered Social Landlords, universities and education providers. These relationships are already well developed and we will progressively shift our emphasis to creating a common vision, targets and shared work programmes. Our priority areas for development include closer working with the private sector, faith communities and cultural organisations.
Section 75 Agreement
In 2009 we signed a groundbreaking agreement with Liverpool City Council that introduced a new Integrated Adult and Commissioning and Personalised Care Unit. The Section 75 Partnership Agreement will ensure improved commissioning across health and social care and a better quality of life for all vulnerable adults in Liverpool.
Neighbourhood delivery
We work closely with third sector organisations and individual neighbourhoods across Liverpool. More than 20 neighbourhoods
across the city are influencing the types of health services and social support they need to keep themselves as healthy, well and active as possible.
Third sector organisations
Third sector organisations have a good understanding of and are close to the communities they serve, and are often able to identify and deliver innovative solutions for better health and wellbeing. We are already working with a number of third sector organisations and a programme is in development in order to maximise health improvement and gains to the local economy.
Workplace Wellbeing Charter
We have developed a Workplace Wellbeing Charter which lays out the ways in which employers in the area can support the health and wellbeing of their employees. It is also a set of standards that organisations can follow to enable these intentions.
