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.

Our latest project is to raise funds to acquire an Ultrasound Scanner to extend the range of services that our Women's Health Clinic can provide:
It will offer a One-Stop Service that co-locates women’s health, menopause management, and complex contraception (long-acting methods such as implants and coils (IUD/IUS)) under a unified primary care framework.
It will offer a Life–Course Approach, integrated care from adolescence through to post menopause.
It will provide a Single Point of Access that will shorten diagnostic waiting times, thereby reducing secondary care referrals.
It will offer a Personalised, Compassionate and Continuity of Care service from a small dedicated team of specially trained staff, reflecting a stated preference for care closer to home.
It will provide Seamless Pathways that include clear escalation routes into specialist gynaecological units without introducing artificial steps and delays to the patient journey.
