Our latest project is to raise funds to acquire two new Patient Pods. These will be
provide contactless monitoring for blood pressure, height, pulse, weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), and ask various lifestyle questions. The pod is fully automatic, takes about 90 seconds and is available to all patients young (16 and over) and old and produces a printout of results. These Pods provide a baseline and ongoing measurement of health and wellbeing to encourage behavioural changes and empowers users to manage their own health better. Patients can use the system unaided at a time of their choice with results input automatically into patient records. This will allow healthcare staff to focus on clinical needs such as long-term condition management and phlebotomy.

The trust is raising funds to equip a minor surgery clinic at the Ancaster surgery. Taking advantage of the experience and specialisation of Dr Matthew Glasson in dermatology, the clinic will be able to carry out minimally invasive procedures involving electrocautery, curettage and cryosurgery treating skin conditions such as benign moles, viral and seborrheic warts, skin lesions, removal of abnormal tissue growth and preventing or stopping bleeding. Currently, most patients needing these procedures are sent to the main NHS hospitals at Grantham or Lincoln but waiting times are long. The practice believes that with the appropriate equipment it will be able to offer speedy and local treatment to over 840 patients a year.

Microsuction for ENT treatments
With microscopic and microsuction ear wax removal, the ear wax is directly visualised under the microscope whilst being removed. This makes the procedure much quicker, safer and comfortable for the patient than irrigation. Other benefits include: No water is flushed into the ear canal.

With microscopic and microsuction ear wax removal, the ear wax is directly visualised under the microscope whilst being removed. This makes the procedure much quicker, safer and comfortable for the patient than irrigation. Other benefits include: No water is flushed into the ear canal. The procedure is performed ‘dry’ significantly reducing the risk of infection and accidentally ‘pumping’ ear wax deeper into the ear canal. Unlike ear syringing and ear irrigation, it can be performed in patients who have a perforated eardrum or grommet, mastoid cavity and cleft palate, in addition to any foreign object (e.g. children’s marble) that may be lodged inside the ear canal.
