The Lincolnshire Community and Hospitals NHS Group has extended visitor timings across its hospital sites, enabling further opportunities for patients to interact with their loved ones. Effective from Wednesday, the revised visiting hours now stretch from 11:00 to 20:00 BST daily, across seven hospital locations throughout Lincolnshire. This adjustment has resulted from suggestions received in a recent survey, which indicated that protracted visiting hours would provide more convenience for visitors. Nerea Odongo, chief nurse of the group, stressed the crucial role that families and support networks play in a patient’s recovery process, underscoring the benefits of this decision on patient welfare.
