About us
We are one of the largest Trusts in the UK and provide a comprehensive range of health services to the local population. Lincoln is the county town of Lincolnshire. Pilgrim hospital is situated in the Market Town of Boston, and is a modern complex of 566 beds. Lincoln medical school is now in its third year of student intake and there are opportunities for Structured Teaching via the newly built Undergraduate Medical Centre. The Trust is also a part of the Comprehensive Local Research network with a dedicated Diabetes Research Nurse support and opportunities and infrastructure for Clinical Research are in place. With its open spaces and plenty of green countryside Lincolnshire remains largely unspoiled with less hustle and bustle that grips so much of the rest of the country- it remains a place where people can live and work in comfort. The county scores highly when it comes to education from nursery through to secondary school and has a growing university culture at the City of Lincoln. In your free time there are many places of interest to visit in Lincolnshire with motor racing at Cadwell Park, lakes for sailing, some of the best coarse fishing in the country and horse racing at Market Rasen, not to mention Lincoln Cathedral and Castle and the good balance of traditional eateries throughout the county.
