The NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board are inviting people who use Stoma, Transanal Irrigation (TAI), or Catheter products and their carers to take part in a new survey to help improve services across Lincolnshire.

The survey aims to gather feedback on what works well, what could be improved, and how services can better meet local needs. This forms part of the ICB’s review of prescribing practices and support services, with the goal of improving consistency, patient experience, and access to the right professional support at the right time.

‼️ LETTERS/ POST UPDATE ‼️

We wanted to share a quick update as we have not received our usual amount of post for over a week.

We have been informed by the sorting office that due to staff illness, there is currently a significant backlog of mail that has not yet been processed. The team there are doing their best to work through this as quickly as possible and hope to make progress today.

Please bear this in mind if you contact the surgery regarding a prescription request you have posted or a hospital letter, as there is a strong possibility we may not have received it yet.

As soon as post starts arriving, we will prioritise sorting and processing it without delay.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
