Welcome to Emergency Medicine at Lincoln County Hospital

This district general hospital serves the city of Lincoln and the North Lincolnshire area. It provides all major specialties and a 24-hour major accident and emergency service.

These departments support the treatment of patients presenting with minor, major and traumatic injuries. Serious traumatic injury patients receive stabilisation therapy, before transfer to the major trauma centre in Nottingham at Queens Medical Centre.

It is our aim that all patients who attend A&E are triaged (assessed and prioritised) by an experienced nurse or doctor on their arrival, ensuring those patients with urgent physical or psychological needs receive appropriate intervention without undue delay.
