Changes to Skegness Urgent Treatment Centre operating hours - 6 January
Posted on: 6th January 2023
Due to unprecedented staffing pressures on urgent care services at Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust and across the Lincolnshire system, the Trust, in communication with other partners has made the decision to temporarily change the delivery of services from the Skegness Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC).
From 9pm on Friday, 6 January 2023 until 8am on Saturday, 7 January 2023, those wishing to access urgent care is Skegness need to contact NHS111 first who will advise on the best place to meet their needs. Patients may be offered appointments in Boston, Louth or Lincoln UTCs instead.
We are making these temporary changes to ensure patients are looked after in a way that best protects their needs during this period of staffing pressures on our services. The Urgent Treatment Centre in Boston, Louth and Lincoln operate as usual.
Patients can also access telephone and video consultations with our award-winning Clinical Assessment Service and home visits where appropriate by calling NHS 111, going online to 111.NHS.uk or using the NHS app.
If you are concerned about this change, please speak to our Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS), they can be contacted on:
