United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust

As part of Armed Force’s Week, original yeomanry bronze tablets were re-mounted at Lincoln County Hospital, showing the names of the fallen from the First World War. These were originally unveiled in 1922 in Lincoln County Hospital buildings that have since been demolished. Local military historian Michael Credland worked with staff at United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust (ULHT) that runs Lincoln County Hospital to obtain the old tablets and restore their place in the hospital’s history. The Lord Lieutenant of Lincolnshire, Toby Dennis unveiled the new mounting of Lincolnshire Yeomanry memorial bronze tablets, honouring the memory of those who lost their lives during the First World War and their connection to Lincoln County Hospital. Steve Martin Chair of ULHT’s Armed Forces Staff Network said: “This historic event shows how strong and how far back our military connections go in Lincolnshire. “We are very proud to display the bronze tablets once again at Lincoln County Hospital and we hope that patients and staff alike enjoy reading about the history. “Thank you to Michael Credland and our staff who worked hard to make this happen.” The tablets are on the wall not far from the main entrance at Lincoln County Hospital, between the shop and chapel. 👉Read the full story on our website: https://lnkd.in/eyGCb6aT

The Lincolnshire Heart Centre is among the first non-surgical centres in the country to use a new life-saving device to assist with the heart function during complex procedures to treat narrowings in the arteries of the heart. ❤️ The Impella device is the world’s smallest heart pump that allows the heart to rest and recover by temporarily assisting the pumping function of the heart to efficiently deliver blood and oxygen to the entire body during procedures. The device has been used in some cardiac surgical centres around the country, but the centre at Lincoln County Hospital is among the first non-surgical heart centres to start using the device. The first procedure was performed by the team in one of the high-tech cath labs at Lincoln County Hospital on Wednesday 19 June. 83-year-old Dennis Hauton from North Somercotes says he feels privileged to be the first patient to receive the device and believes his procedure will give him a new lease of life. Mr Hauton needed to have percutaneous coronary intervention, commonly known as a coronary angioplasty or stent. This is a procedure used to treat the narrowed or obstructed coronary arteries of the heart found in coronary heart disease that can cause angina or heart attacks. Without the use of the Impella device this procedure would have been too high a risk to be performed. 👉 Read the full story on our website: https://lnkd.in/ebH9ggAf
