This week's goes to the Cardiac Short Stay Unit at Lincoln County Hospital. 💙

Say hello to Helen and Jocelyn, who are our two dedicated Rapid Access Colorectal Advanced Clinical Practitioners (ACPs) working across all of our hospitals. 👋

Between them, they each have more than 25 years’ colorectal care experience, and they fill a pivotal role between a patient’s initial referral on an urgent colorectal pathway and diagnosis.

Their role is to work closely with both patients and clinicians across hospitals and GP surgeries to ensure anyone undergoing tests and scans can achieve a diagnosis status as quickly as possible.

Not only can they give dedicated specialist support to patients through advice and reassurance during the early stages of care, they are able to review investigations and follow-up results to ensure patients are on the best pathway to meet their needs.

Following diagnosis, Helen and Jocelyn help to make sure any transition to further specialist care or discharge back to primary care services is as smooth as possible, ensuring results are also reported back to those who need them without delay.

Thank you to Helen and Jocelyn for all that they do! 💙

To Branston Ward at Lincoln County Hospital.❤️

"The nurses who looked after me were very caring and empathetic. They explained why blood tests were being taken and ensured any pain I had was managed. I also saw how good they were with elderly patients with dementia. The doctors were clear about tests and results and answered any questions I had."

You may have read the news below this week that FIT tests, which are used as part of bowel cancer screening, will be checked at a lower threshold.

Our Lincolnshire Bowel Cancer Screening Team are excited to be part of the Wave 1 roll out of this change, launching in April 2026.
This lower threshold for testing will capture more asymptomatic bowel cancers (where you might be showing no symptoms) even earlier. We hope this will support improved outcomes for Lincolnshire’s residents.

The NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Programme in Lincolnshire offers screening every two years to all men and women aged 50 to 74 who are registered with a GP.

If you get a test kit in the post, please complete and return it - it can truly be a lifesaver!

Sometimes it is the little items we fund that make such a difference.💙

You should only attend A&E or dial 999 with a life-threatening emergency.

If you attend A&E or dial 999 for anything that is not a life-threatening emergency, you will face a long wait whilst people with genuine life-threatening emergencies are prioritised.

For help and advice when it’s not a life-threatening emergency visit 111 online or phone 111. Alternatively, your GP practice, local pharmacy, or urgent treatment centre can help.

If you can, please also support the discharge of friends and family from hospital.

New year, new skill?

If you’re looking for a new skill this January, our colleagues working in our Resuscitation Services Team would encourage you to learn how to give basic life support.

There are great online resources available for free from The Resuscitation Council UK to help your learn or to refresh your skills.

This includes Lifesaver, an interactive film by Martin Percy, where you are put at the heart of the action and need to make crucial decisions and learn the essential skills needed to save a life.

If you’re not sure how to use a defibrillator, the Resuscitation Council UK also has a short animation where you can meet Defib Dani to learn more about defibrillators.

Flu can be serious, especially for those at higher risk.

Flu vaccines don’t stop everyone from catching flu, but they do reduce the risk of becoming seriously unwell, needing hospital care or developing complications – especially for older adults and those with health conditions.

If you’re eligible and haven’t had yours yet, it’s not too late to get protected.
