Different types of treatment and care plans are often put in place for people. They can end up having multiple plans depending on how many long term conditions they have.

Sign up for this Personalised Care and Support Planning programme to learn about Personalisation approaches in health and care, the importance of knowing what matters to people,  Lincolnshire Initial Conversation Model and much more.

Lincolnshire people still coming forward for Covid-19 vaccination

Less than two weeks left

With just under two weeks to go until the current Covid-19 vaccination campaign closes on Wednesday 31st January, Lincolnshire people are still coming forwards to get vaccinated.

Since the current vaccination campaign began on 11th September 2023, NHS vaccination teams in Lincolnshire have to-date given more than 203,000 vaccinations as part of the drive to ensure eligible people have the maximum possible protection against Covid-19.

“The Covid-19 vaccination has been delivered by GP practices, community pharmacies, from our vaccination centres and at outreach sessions in locations spread across Lincolnshire, and the response from the public has once again been fantastic,” comments Julie Humphreys, Head of Clinical Services, Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust.

“As we are very close to the end of the campaign, my advice to anyone eligible for a Covid-19 vaccination who’s yet to have it and wants to get vaccinated is simple – come and see us as soon as you can, and certainly no later than 31st January, and we will be happy to see you and get you vaccinated.”

At the time of writing, there are still a number of scheduled vaccination clinics due to take place for people aged 18 and over at the Weighing Rooms, Carholme Road, Lincoln – between 11am and 1pm today, Friday 19th January, as well as next Thursday 25th and Friday 26th. 

There are also sessions at the Weighing Rooms for 5-17 year-olds today, Friday 19th, and next Friday 26th, in the afternoons between 3.30pm and 4.30pm. 

There is more information, including timings, available on NHS Lincolnshire ICB’s website here Covid-19 vaccination clinics – Lincolnshire ICB

In addition, there is one remaining outreach session due to be held at the Storehouse, Skegness, on Wednesday 24th January, for anyone eligible including 5-17 year-olds.  The flu vaccination will also be available at this clinic for anyone aged 18 and over. 

“Just a reminder that is no longer possible to book appointments online or via telephone, however, all of the vaccination sessions our teams are running can be attended as a walk-in, without the need for an appointment,” adds Julie.

Some community pharmacies continue to offer Covid-19 vaccinations until the end of January – there is an updated list and map showing their locations here.  In addition, anyone eligible for a free flu vaccination can still contact their GP practice or visit a pharmacy offering the service, if aged 18 and over, until 31st March 2024.

People eligible for both winter vaccines – flu and Covid-19 – include all aged 65 and over, including those turning 65 years of age by 31st March 2024, those that are pregnant, those aged 6 months and above with certain health conditions, care home residents, frontline health and social care staff, unpaid carers and household contacts of people with a weakened immune system.

Personalisation Huddle

Using available technology in our roles

12th January 2024

9:30 – 11:00

Technology is ever evolving and changing meaning there are different and new ways it can be used. This means that there is potential to use technology to free up more of our time to spend having conversations with people and finding out what is important to them. During this session we will share ideas with each other about how we can use technology in our roles and work together to identify where we think we could use technology more effectively in future.

We look forward to seeing you at the session.

Living with Cancer Team – a national success!

Living with Cancer Team – a national success!

Earlier this year the Living with Cancer Team were approached by Macmillan Cancer Support and asked to broadcast a webinar to the Macmillan community country-wide on Personalised Care and Support planning. The team were recognised in 2022 as a great example of putting personalised approaches into practice across an Integrated Care System, when they were awarded a Macmillan Excellence award in the Integration category at the Macmillan Professionals Conference. After much preparation the webinar was broadcast live on 12th October 2023 to an audience of 60 people.

Although we wanted everyone in the team to talk about their contribution to Personalisation, we decided it would be best for Kathie McPeake and Steph Wilkes from the ICB and Sam Lewis and Becci Pallett from ULHT to speak. The rest of the team took part in a Q&A at the end of webinar.

The webinar kicked off with an overview of the Living with Cancer Programme, and our approach, from Kathie. Kathie’s overall message was that personalisation should be applied right along cancer pathways, and by working together we are better than the sum of our parts when supporting patients. Steph, Becci and Sam then took over, and talked about Personalised Care and Support Planning itself, how to do a great one and how it can be used throughout a patient’s cancer experience. They used a fictitious patient as an example (but with real-world challenges that patients have faced) and showed how all sectors in Lincolnshire, working together, could support him to improve his experience and he and his family’s quality of life.

Q&A followed and we were surprised at how many people asked questions. We were able to answer all the questions either live or after the session. Several people got in touch afterwards and we have sent examples of our work and met with some of them. Macmillan told us afterwards that they have never had such an engaged audience, which was great to hear.

Kathie added “thank you LWC team for today and every day, for leading the way on personalised approaches and working so hard to improve the quality of life for people living with cancer in our county”.
