Working in partnership is the secret to success!

LANCASHIRE Care has been working together with other organisations to promote partnership working in order to improve the services they provide for people living in the area. As part of this they have recently been recognised for their work across the public, private and voluntary sectors.

The Trust's recent partnerships have supported the organisation to improve health, wellbeing and care outcomes for people living in Lancashire, whilst receiving various commendations at national awards ceremonies across the country.

Sue Moore, Chief Operating Officer at Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust said:- "Our partnerships with organisations such as the Lancashire Wildlife Trust, Home Group, GE Healthcare, Ward Hadaway, Lancashire Teaching Hospitals and Lancaster University have each been a great success. We recognise that each organisation has a different focus, however we are all trying to deliver the best service we can, and so by working together we are all able to contribute in our own ways. Working with our partners really enhances the services we provide, to the people that matter. It really is a privilege to work together and be part of so many partnerships and we plan to continue to build on this approach in 2018!"

Earlier last year, the Trust joined forces with the Lancashire Wildlife Trust to deliver the Myplace project, which encourages young people aged 13 to 24 years old to explore the environment by offering opportunities to participate in eco therapy based activities. The project enables young people to develop new skills, increase their self esteem, build resilience and improve their own self confidence. Just a year on, the project came highly commended for Partnership Working at the first national, Children and Young People Mental Health (CYPMH) Awards.

3 of the Trust's partnerships have been shortlisted in this year's HSJ Partnership Awards which aim to recognise the best partnerships between the NHS and private sector companies. Home View, an innovative partnership with Home Group, is a 24 hours a day, supported housing service provides short term accommodation for adults aged between 18 to 65 with mental health problems who have recently been discharged from Hospital. Also shortlisted was the Trust's Workforce Repository and Planning Tool (WRaPT) application, which is delivered in partnership with GE Healthcare. The application was shortlisted for its initiative and long standing partnership between the NHS and private sector which helps the health and care system to transform during these changes, by providing the tools and techniques to collect, analyse and model information about the whole workforce. Ward Hadaway have been nominated for its work around the Trust's Knowledge and Legal Advice Centre (KnowLA) which enables staff to access internal knowledge and legal advice that may have already been sought or held elsewhere. The system aims to save time, avoid duplication and enable internal knowledge to be shared across teams and networks.

The new NIHR Lancashire Clinical Research Facility (CRF), which sees the collaboration of the Trust, Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Lancaster University has also been shortlisted for an award. The facility which was opened in November last year and 1 of only 23 in the country, has been shortlisted for Clinical Research Site of the Year Award, at The North West Coast Research and Innovation Awards. The partnership has been recognised for discovering new treatments and improving care for the future. The collaboration provides a unique combination of both physical and mental health research expertise and the opportunity for people in the community opportunity to take part in early phase clinical research trials for dementia, neurosciences, oncology and many more.

Liverpool Bach Collective

Liverpool Bach Collective at Liverpool Parish Church

LIVERPOOL Bach Collective is staging its biggest project to date in March 2018, when it will perform Johann Sebastian Bach's St John Passion; a work generally considered to be among the greatest creations in western classical music. The performance will be given at Liverpool Parish Church, Liverpool Pier Head, on Saturday, 10 March 2018, at 7.00pm.

This will be the first time the Collective has performed a Passion, and for the performance the Collective will include a chorus of sixteen singers and an ensemble of twelve players, with visiting solo singers Nicholas Mulroy (Evangelist), Louis Hurst (Christus), and William Smith (tenor). Other soloists from among the members of the Collective will be Barbara Ruzsics (soprano), Danny Townley (countertenor) and Stuart O'Hara (bass). The singers and players will be directed by Philip Duffy, and the performance will be hosted in a liturgical context by the Rev Dr Crispin Pailing, Rector of Liverpool.

A major role in a Passion performance is the Evangelist, and the Collective is delighted to be able to welcome international singing star Nicholas Mulroy back to Liverpool to fulfil this role. Born in Liverpool, Nicholas was a chorister at the City's Metropolitan Cathedral. It was while he was a chorister there that Philip Duffy introduced occasional performances of Bach Cantatas into the Cathedral's liturgy, and Nicholas was the first chorister to sing a solo aria in a Bach cantata, setting a standard that successive choristers worked hard to emulate. He went on to study at Cambridge University and the Royal Academy of Music, and has since been in constant demand both in the UK and further afield in a wide range of concert, recital and opera engagements. He has sung at many of the world's great concert halls, and has sung the role of Evangelist in Bach's Passions in 4 other countries besides the UK, including an appearance at last year's BBC Proms.

A review in the Australian press described him as:- 'the most sought after evangelist of his generation… it is hard to imagine anyone singing it better.'

The performance will be given in a liturgical context, and admission will be only by ticket (for which there is no charge). Tickets are obtainable online. Any unallocated tickets will be available at the door.

Liverpool Bach Collective was formed 4 years ago, and it aims to perform 1 of Bach's 200 cantatas in a church in the Liverpool area each month on a Sunday afternoon, as part of an act of worship. The Collective is directed by Philip Duffy (a former Master of the Music at Liverpool's Metropolitan Cathedral). By the end of the current season, 35 cantatas will have been performed in 24 different churches, from:- Hightown to Rainhill and Ince Blundell to Birkenhead. The ensemble continues to gather a following of interested listeners.
