“Every day and every patient are a little bit different, but it will never stop being rewarding to work in a close-knit team to help make a difference to patient’s wellbeing.”

From traumatic brain injuries to strokes, a wide range of conditions can impact someone’s ability to communicate, drink a cup or tea or safely enjoy their favourite foods, which can make being in hospitals feel like an isolating place.

Our team of speech and language therapists work in acute hospitals to support people with communication and/or swallowing problems to help to safely get the food and drink they need to recover, and develop strategies to help their speech, understanding on spoken and written language and use of communication aids.

We’re currently recruiting for specialist speech and language therapists to join our team. Find out more on NHS jobs: https://www.jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/jobadvert/C9818-26-0025?keyword=speech&location=Lincoln&distance=5&language=en

Today is International HPV Awareness Day.

💉The HPV vaccine is one of the most successful in the world. It helps protect against the human papillomarvirus (HPV), more specifically it helps protect against future cancers.

📆If your child missed getting vaccinated when they were in Year 8, the HPV vaccine is available free on the NHS for all girls under 25 and boys born after 1st September 2006.

🏫If your child still attends school, you can contact the School Age Immunisation service. If not, you will need to contact your GP surgery. It is never too late to get vaccinated.

MMRV is now part of the NHS routine childhood vaccination programme, replacing the MMR vaccine.

It protects against measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox.

Chickenpox is very common and can sometimes lead to serious complications, so vaccination helps reduce the risk of serious illness as children grow.

You don’t need to do anything — your GP will be in touch when your child is due.
