ULHT Advice & Guidance Update

A&G services are intended to help ensure patients are seen and treated in the right place, at the right time as quickly as possible. They are intended to help GPs make a better and more informed decision on the most appropriate course of action for their patients. The service is available on e-RS as Advice and Guidance and is for non-urgent advice only- not referral. e-RS will provide a professional and secure way of providing specialist advice to GPs with a response within 2 working days.

Any queries for Gallstones should be sent into "Other-Surgery" to ensure that they get reviewed by the appropriate consultant.

The current list of services now available via Advice and Guidance is therefore as follows:-

• Breast (via drop down "Breast Services-Family History- Surgery-Lincoln County") 

• Menopause 

• Gynaecology

• Cardiology 

• Haematology

• Dermatology 

• Orthopaedics

• Diabetes 

• Respiratory (via the Respiratory Lincoln RAS service)

• ENT 

• Urology (Pilgrim & Lincoln Sites)

• General Surgery (available at Lincoln site only) 

• Endocrinology

• Gastroenterology (service will respond to requests on the following topics);

1.  Hepatitis 

2. ■ Colitis

3.  Herpetology

4. ■ Coeliac disease

5.  IBD 

6. ■ Crohn’s disease

7.  Epi-Gastric e.g. dyspepsia 

8. ■ Ulcerative Colitis

Any other areas will be returned back to the referring clinician without advice
