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. Founded over two hundred years ago, the majority of the hospital has been rebuilt over the past twenty years. The most recent major developments include the opening in October 2001 of a new £13 million Radiotherapy and Oncology Unit and the development of three new wards built to the highest possible specification, all completed during 2010.
