GP Medical Practice

[ULHS @ULHSonline]

Just a gentle reminder to all patients to wear a face covering when attending the practice, unless you are exempt.

[ULHS @ULHSonline]

We are still available for urgent queries/appointments. If your query is not urgent or you are looking to book a routine appointment, please call us at another time.

[ULHS @ULHSonline]

Important Update:
Due to mandatory staff training, we will be running a reduced clinical service on Tuesday 30th November 2021 from 13:00hrs.

The Department of Health is looking into this and we will keep you updated once we have more information.

Patients who require urgent blood tests will be prioritised by the clinical team.

Thank you for your understanding at this time.

[ULHS @ULHSonline]

URGENT NOTIFICATION
Unfortunately there is a national problem with the chemicals used by laboratories when testing blood samples.

So, with immediate effect, we have been informed to pause routine testing of blood samples. We do not know when a normal service will resume.

[ULHS @ULHSonline]

Regrettably we will have to contact many patients to cancel their blood test appointments. We recognise this will cause frustration and anxiety and apologise for this but this situation is completely outside the practice's control.

[ULHS @ULHSonline]

The GPs have extra roles on top of their normal work to help support the pandemic response; covering A+E shifts in Lincs, manning 111 lines and advising for the CCG. There's more than you'd think going on behind the scenes. We are getting ready for you all to arrive. Stay safe!

Dr Ruth talks to the University of Lincoln digital team to give advice to current students and freshers on using the health centre.
We do a lot of work on top of digital and face to face appointments which have been continuous throughout Covid.

[ULHS @ULHSonline]

Wash your hands to reduce risk, cover your face to reduce risk, make space to reduce risk, do all three to help save lives. #HandsFaceSpace

Extra weight puts extra pressure on your body. Which makes it harder to fight against diseases like cancer, heart disease and now, Covid-19. Losing weight can help reduce your risk. #BetterHealth

Big Thank You's to Carol Priestley for the lovely face coverings for us to provide to patients that have to attend the surgery and to For the Love of Scrubs - Lincoln (@FLOSLincoln) for the scrubs provided to our clinicians!

[ULHS @ULHSonline]

Take at the video below explaining NHS England's new Test and Trace initiative. If you have Covid-19 symptoms, do not leave your house for any reason, except to be tested. Call 119 to book a test. #TestTrackAndTrace

[ULHS @ULHSonline]

If you need to come into the surgery for any reason, please wear a face covering. This could be as simple as a bandana or scarf that you can use to cover your mouth.

For guidance on face coverings and how to make one, please go to the following link:
