Industrial action

The British Medical Association (BMA) have confirmed that resident doctors will be taking part in industrial action at our Trust from 7am on Friday 14 November to 7am on Wednesday 19 November.  

Due to uncertainty around staffing levels during this time, we have taken the difficult decision to cancel some non-urgent appointments and operations in advance, and may need to cancel some appointments at short notice during the strike period.   

If your appointment is cancelled, you will be contacted directly and we will work with you to re-book your appointments and operations for as soon as possible.  

If you have an appointment over the next few weeks and have not been contacted, it is important that you attend as usual.   

Our emergency departments remain open for those who need urgent and emergency care. Our maternity and antenatal services will also be open.  

Using the WaitLess app will help you to avoid long queues if you require urgent care, showing your fastest options for treatment in Lincolnshire.  

Staff, patients and visitors are asked to wear a hospital-provided face mask when attending some areas of hospitals in Lincolnshire. This has been re-introduced in some high-risk areas due to an increase in respiratory illnesses such as Influenza A, RSV and COVID-19 in the county’s hospitals and community settings.
