Grimsby
NYECFS F1 08/09
Grimsby is a former major fishing port, tucked away on the Lincolnshire Coast with all the amenities you would expect. The award winning blue flag beach of Cleethorpes is just a stone’s throw away with several seafront restaurants in which to sample the locally caught fish. Ideally situated for Humberside International Airport for connections to Europe, just a 40 minute drive will take you over the glorious Humber Bridge to Hull and beyond.
Grimsby Hospital is part of the North Lincolnshire and Goole
(NLAG) Trust which became a Foundation Trust in 2007, with brand new units for Stroke, Family Services, Day Surgery, Cardiology and Breast Care together with a
new purpose built Orthopaedic Clinic. The Trust is an integral part of HYMS. The Consultant staff provide undergraduate teaching to both HYMS and Sheffield medical students, a role which extends into the Postgraduate teaching of
Foundation trainees and beyond.

Scunthorpe may be most famous for its steelworks, but it has much more to offer. Currently the subject of a £11.5 million investment, developments include a Sports Academy, a Knowledge Campus and conservation projects such as ‘Lincolnshire Lakes’ which is aiming to transform the approach to Scunthorpe, creating new places for living, working and leisure. New facilities such as the 20–21 Visual Arts Centre, two shopping centres, The Parishes and The Foundry, together with a speciality shopping area known as ‘The Streets’ are revitalising the town centre. Scunthorpe also boasts many top quality restaurants such as San Pietro and Winteringham Fields.
Scunthorpe is close to both Robin Hood and Humberside International Airports. Doncaster is 30 miles away,
making London just 1¾ hours direct by train. There are also excellent motorway links to Sheffield and Leeds.
The Hospital is part of the NLAG Trust offering a range of services including coronary angiography, a Government Charter Marked Pregnancy Assessment unit and a new purpose built Dermatology Unit. The Trust is an integral part of HYMS and Scunthorpe’s Consultant staff provide undergraduate teaching to both HYMS and Sheffield medical students, a role which extends into the Postgraduate teaching of Foundation trainees and beyond.
