    We are committed to ensuring that all patients and their families/carers are treated with dignity and respect throughout their care journey.

    United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, both as service users and visitors to Trust premises.

  • Learning from patient deaths

    In line with the CQC's recommendations in its review of how the NHS investigates patient deaths in December 2016, the National Quality Board has recently published (March 2017) the first edition of a new national framework for NHS Trusts - 'National Guidance on Learning from Deaths'.

  • What should happen to you in an emergency? ReSPECT

    In a crisis, health professionals may have to make rapid decisions about your treatment, and you may not be well enough to participate in making choices.
