We’re launching Working Well at LCHG- our plan to help every colleague join, grow, belong and thrive.

At the heart of the plan is a clear ambition: to develop, empower and retain great people by creating the conditions in which colleagues feel valued, supported, listened to and able to do their best work.

Our five pillars will guide this work across every stage of the colleague journey:
Join Well. Grow Well. Work Well. Belong Well. Stay Well.

Because when our people thrive, we are better able to deliver safe, compassionate and high-quality care for our patients and communities.

Bringing the plan to life will take all of us, through our everyday behaviours, leadership and commitment to The LCHG Way.

Friends and Family Test: retrospective patient feedback

We have restarted our collection of Friends and Family Test (FFT) feedback from patients following a gap in provision during the migration to our new service provider, Civica.
To help us understand our patients’ experiences during this period and fill some of the gap in our data, we will be sending retrospective text messages to some patients who had a hospital or community service interaction between 1 January and 23 June 2026.

Patients may receive a text asking about their most recent experience of one or more of the following, where applicable:

A&E
Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC)
Community hospitals
Community services
Inpatient stay
Outpatient appointment
Day case visit

Patients will only be contacted once for each type of visit. The text will make clear which experience we are asking them about, and we will ask them to think about their most recent visit of that type.

We appreciate that, depending on how long ago the interaction took place, some patients may not remember their experience. There is no obligation to respond, and patients can simply choose not to provide feedback if they don’t wish to.

The feedback we receive will help us build a more complete picture of patient experience during the period when our usual FFT collection was unavailable.

Thank you to everyone for your understanding and support while we work to address this gap in our patient experience data.

"One of the greatest privileges we have in healthcare is being able to care for people and support their families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

"Providing compassionate, dignified end of life care is something our teams take incredibly seriously, and I am so pleased that this commitment has recently been recognised by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

"Following its inspection of end-of-life care services at Grantham and District Hospital in March 2026, the CQC rated the service Good overall, with the Caring domain improving from Good to Outstanding.

"This is a wonderful achievement and reflects the kindness, compassion and professionalism our colleagues show every day."
