📝Patient Feedback Survey- Advice & Guidance

NHS Lincolnshire ICB NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board would like to hear about your experience of when your GP practice has asked for advice from a hospital specialist to help plan your care.

This is when your GP or practice team may contact a hospital specialist for advice about your care, rather than referring you straight away.

By sharing your experience, you can help us understand what’s working well and what could be improved for patients across Lincolnshire.

The survey is quick and completely anonymous. It should only take a few minutes to complete.

Please complete by midnight on Thursday 7 May.

We want to make sure all our patients know how to access their COVID‑19 vaccination this season. From 13th April local pharmacies are offering appointments, and many have good availability. You can book directly through the NHS website or by calling 119, or dropping in.

For our housebound patients and those living in care homes, vaccinations will be provided by the ICB’s dedicated vaccination team, who will contact you directly.

GP practices are not required to deliver COVID‑19 vaccinations, and this year our practice will not be running its own clinics. This allows us to focus our time and resources on providing day‑to‑day care and appointments for all our patients.

Eligible are:
* adults aged 75 years and over
* residents in a care home for older adults
* individuals aged 6 months and over who are immunosuppressed

Thank you for your understanding, and please do book your vaccination if you’re eligible.
