The Society was founded in 1951 by a group of Laundry
Managers who thought it would be a good idea to meet on a regular basis for
the exchange of information. Fifty years later and our Society is a thriving,
professional association, which has gained the respect of all those associated
with the laundry / linen services / textile industry.
We offer training for all those involved with Healthcare
linen services either by regionally held courses,
one to one events or our annual national conference.
Many Trusts and Health Boards have used the Society’s trained personnel to
assist in their development or rationalisation of in-house or shared services.
We have a democratically elected National Executive
Council (NEC) which is made up of nine regionally elected representatives,
four National officers and a President. All are committed to achieving a
common goal of promoting the status of Linen Service management within the
Health Service as well as acting as a focal point for any relevant issues.
