Our view of the service

Pilgrim Hospital is operated by United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. The hospital serves Boston and the Lincolnshire area. It provides all major specialties and a 24-hour major accident and emergency service.

The trust provides acute hospital care for the people of Lincolnshire from their sites in Lincoln, Boston and Grantham and delivers services from community hospitals and centres in Louth, Gainsborough, Spalding, and Skegness.

On 27 November 2024, we carried out an unannounced assessment of two assessment service groups provided by the trust at this location. This was an unannounced focused assessment of urgent and emergency care and medical care, in response to concerning information we had received about the care of patients in the department. At the time of our assessment the departments was under adverse pressure.
