United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (ULTH) is a rural acute NHS trust with over 8000 colleagues, serving Lincolnshire's 757,000 residents from three ULHT run acute hospital sites, four community run hospitals, and numerous GP run facilities around the county.
Lincolnshire is the second largest county in the UK and is characterised by dispersed centres of population in large towns and the city of Lincoln, and otherwise largely rural communities. Transport networks are underdeveloped, resulting in transport times of around one hour between the three acute hospital sites.
In an average year, we treat more than 150,000 accident and emergency patients, over 600,000 outpatients, and over 140,000 inpatients, and deliver over 5,000 babies.
We are the lead provider of elective care and urgent inpatient care for Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group and an integral part of the Lincolnshire Integrated Care System.
Main duties of the job
The Endoscopy unit carried out over 16,381 of the Trust's day cases this year and supports a substantial part of the inpatient activity. The work involves diagnostic procedures that aid the clinical management of patients under the care of consultants and GPs from both the Medical and Surgical Divisions.
The Endoscopy unit is presently open seven days a week, from 8am to 7pm. Our aim is to provide the very highest standards of care to patients and relatives alike, ensuring privacy and dignity is maintained at all times.
