"The Friends Of Lincoln Hospitals Association (FLHA) were at LCH this morning delivering overnight toiletry packs for patients admitted in an emergency who arrive with nothing. We hope these packs make patients feel welcome and make their stay a little more comfortable."

"Staff have all been fantastic, and despite the demand on resource and covid circumstances, the care and support received was brilliant throughout. Clearly all staff are dedicated to what they do in supporting women through such an important journey and deserve all the credit. "

"I just wanted to take the time to say a massive thank you, especially to the STMW Emily for delivering my beautiful baby boy Elijah. Emily dealt with my screams and demands so professionally, i feel so guilty for snapping but like a pro she took it on the chin."

We want to wish a farewell full of love to Midwife Kate... She has worked at ULHT for 12 years, the last 7 years as a core Midwife on labour ward. As she moves on to her next midwifery chapter, with the community midwifery team, we want to wish her so much luck for the future 💙

As we welcomed the beginning of 2022, we also welcomed 244 beautiful babies here at Lincoln Maternity! We would love to hear from you in the comments, if your baby was born during this time 💙 #baby #birth #pregnant #pregnancy #midwifery #midwife #maternity #antenatal #postnatal
