This is currently a time of exciting change for maternity provision within Lincolnshire as a Local Maternity System (LMS) has been established by the ICB with the Lincolnshire Sustainability and Transformation Partnership.
Within the antenatal care department we have an amazing opportunity to welcome women and families into the Trust. High quality antenatal care is provided using the implementation of Saving Babies Lives care bundle V3 and the development of our Maternity Triage Department which has recently adopted the Birmingham Symptom Specific Obstetric Triage System, BSOTs.
We are looking for experienced, dynamic and enthusiastic midwives to join our team as we begin to implement the next stage of our journey with the provision of a stand-alone telephone triage system.
The role will involve delivering high quality care for complex pregnancies in both the antenatal clinic, Maternity Triage and Telephone Triage working collaboratively with the sonography, obstetric and wider multidisciplinary team.
The Maternity Triage department is the A&E of maternity care and requires the ability to work under pressure, in a fast paced environment, an extensive knowledge of electronic fetal monitoring (EFM), a detailed understanding of Saving Babies Lives pathways, presentation scanning and a love of team work.
Lincoln Hospital is a thriving university city and with the opening of the medical school, it provides all major specialties and a 24-hour major accident and emergency service.
United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust has been granted teaching hospital status, after demonstrating evidence to significant teaching commitment. From now on it will be known as United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.
Pilgrim Hospital is situated in beautiful countryside and serves the communities in the South Lincolnshire area. It provides all major specialties and a 24-hour major accident and emergency service.
Grantham and District Hospital serves the communities of Grantham and the local area. It provides ambulatory paediatric and accident and emergency services.
Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust (LCHS) and United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust (ULHT) have come together in a Group arrangement, with the goal of improving the care provided to patients across the county.
This will not constitute a formal merger of the two organisations, but will bring the Trusts together under a single Board and Executive Leadership Team, with the goal of improving the care that is provided to patients both in the community and in hospitals across Lincolnshire. Both Trusts will retain their separate statutory names and legal obligations.
The Group will be known as Lincolnshire Community and Hospitals NHS Group (LCHG).
