Anaesthetic boost for hospitals

Anaesthetic teams working across Lincolnshire’s hospitals have been awarded accreditation by the Royal College of Anaesthetists.

The Anaesthesia Clinical Services Accreditation (ACSA) is a peer-reviewed scheme that promotes quality improvement and the highest standards of anaesthetic service.
To receive accreditation, departments are expected to demonstrate high standards in areas such as patient experience, patient safety and quality. 
A ceremony marking the achievement for United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (ULTH), took place at Pilgrim Hospital, Boston led by Dr Jonathan Thompson, who visited on behalf of the Royal College of Anaesthetists.
Plaques recognising this achievement are now in place in all four sites of ULTH Theatres at Boston, Grantham, Lincoln and Louth hospitals.
Dr Jayanth Sampath, consultant anaesthetist at ULTH, said: “Our successful accreditation is the culmination of several years of work to evidence how our teams deliver the high standards expected for our patients.
“During the accreditation process, we have welcomed visits to all four sites of ULTH and have been very proud to show how we have been investing in the development of our teams and the care we provide.”
