Forty-five staff from Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust (LCHS) have between them, completed over 1,090 years dedicated to caring for people. 💙

In a recent awards ceremony, colleagues received long service awards in appreciation of their NHS work.

Elaine Baylis, Group Chair at Lincolnshire Community and Hospitals NHS Group presented the awards alongside Professor Karen Dunderdale, Chief Executive for Lincolnshire Community and Hospitals NHS Group.

Lee Gifford, a Senior Apprentice Lead, reached the 20 year milestone. Lee’s NHS carer started in 2004 as an NVQ coordinator. He progressed through various roles, as an NVQ project lead, wider workforce educator and lead for food safety. In 2016, he established an apprenticeship centre, which achieved a ‘Good’ rating from OFSTED. Lee won Leader of the Year 2021, in LCHS’s staff awards. Lee has also been involved in staff support groups – to help staff from different backgrounds with unique challenges.

Lee said: “Throughout my two-decades I have had an incredible journey, witnessing many changes. I have supported over 1,000 individuals to achieve their career aspirations across multiple professional fields.

“I have loved and continue to enjoy every part of my journey with the NHS and would recommend anyone starting out in a career to come and join us.”

We are running two HOPE courses (Help Overcome Problems Effectively) for people who have finished their cancer treatment.

HOPE helps people manage the day-to-day impact of cancer on their lives, allowing them to rediscover their strengths and gain confidence after treatment ends. It's open to individuals who have completed their treatment within the past year, regardless of the type of cancer they have.

There are still a few places on the next ones starting on Wednesday, 13 August in Boston and Lincoln.

For more information, please call 01522 573799 or email ulth.macmillan.informationsupportservice@nhs.net

The first sign of a stroke might not seem like much. Like not being able to raise your arm, struggling to smile or slurring when you speak.

Face or arm or speech, at the first sign, it's time to call 999.
