🏆 Celebrating excellence across Lincolnshire's NHS services! 🏆

Hundreds of colleagues from across the Lincolnshire Community and Hospitals NHS Group came together on Friday to celebrate the outstanding individuals and teams making a difference to patients every day.

This year, more than 950 nominations were received from staff and patients for our LCHG Staff Awards, recognising excellence in patient care, compassion, teamwork, leadership and innovation. Congratulations to all those shortlisted and a special well done to our winners and highly commended colleagues.

The evening also raised over £1,800 through a charity raffle in support of the United Lincolnshire Hospitals Charity and Lincolnshire NHS Charity.

Thank you to every member of staff who goes above and beyond for the people of Lincolnshire every day. 💙

Our hospitals are very busy with long waits in A&E.

You should only be in A&E in a life-threatening emergency.

Lincolnshire’s hospitals and community services are preparing for one of the most challenging periods for the NHS - winter.

Winter brings increased demand on our services, particularly from flu, respiratory illnesses and other seasonal infections. Colder weather also has a significant impact on older people and those with long-term health conditions. We prepare for these pressures in the NHS.

Prevention is important. Simple things to help stay well include, getting vaccinated, ordering repeat prescriptions in good time, keeping warm, looking after existing health conditions and seeking advice early when we become unwell can all make a difference.

📣 Help us to choose a new name for our new organisation 📣

This summer, Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust (LCHS) and United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (ULTH) announced plans to formally merge from April next year.

We are now working to agree a new name for this exciting new organisation, which will become the biggest provider of NHS services to the people of Lincolnshire. The name needs to describe an innovative new organisation that spans both community and hospital care in Lincolnshire, and also reflects the prestigious ‘Teaching’ status of ULTH.

Colleagues, patients, public and stakeholders are all being invited to have their say on three proposed name options, to help make the decision and support this positive new development, which will benefit the people of Lincolnshire.

Please use this link to vote for your favourite, before Sunday 18 October 2026: https://ow.ly/31Rg50ZURM7
