New service offers welcome relief
Women suffering the miseries of an overactive bladder are now able to receive treatment closer to home at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital rather than travelling to Norwich for help. A new nurse-led service for urinary incontinence, known as Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS for short), has been launched at the hospital. Until now it has only been available to West Norfolk and Fenland patients if they are willing to travel to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital for treatment – a round-trip of about 85 miles.
Second Car Park Consultation - 16 April 2012
A second consultation meeting surrounding the improvements of car parking at the hospital will be held on 16 April 2012.

‘All standards met’ on QEH nursing care - CQC ]
All national standards of nursing care, patient safety and staffing at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn are being met, according to an update review carried out by health watchdog the Care Quality Commission.
Inspectors from the CQC made a spot-check on the hospital recently as a follow-up to a visit carried out in August, where issues were identified around medicines management, privacy and dignity and record-keeping.
