What the pandemic has taught us
It has been another challenging year, perhaps even more so, as we were hoping that moving to ‘living with COVID’ would alleviate some of the demands on the NHS. At times the pressure seemed relentless, but I know our staff put patients first, unfortunately, sometimes at the expense of their own wellbeing. So, I’d like to thank all colleagues and volunteers at Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust for their exceptionally hard work.
In 2022 we again focussed on services that keep people well at home or allow them to be discharged from an acute hospital without delays. Our Urgent Community Response is just over a year old, and in that time, we helped thousands of people by seeing them within two hours and supporting them to remain at home without the need for a distressing trip to A&E.
The pandemic has taught us that we can support patients remotely by using technology. In Lincolnshire, LCHS staff work on several virtual wards specialising in different conditions. We have virtual wards for cardiac, frailty, respiratory, children’s complex neurology and same-day emergency care. They offer hospital-level care and remote monitoring for patients who would otherwise be in a hospital by preventing admissions or allowing them to return home sooner to continue their treatment at home.
