We treat almost 700,000 patients every year in our hospitals and community settings, using state-of-the-art equipment and facilities.

The Emergency Department at Blackburn is the only ED for East Lancashire and is a Trauma Unit in the Lancashire Trauma Network working closely with the Trauma Centre at the Royal Preston Hospital.

The department of Orthopaedics provides a general Orthopaedic and acute trauma service to the population of East Lancashire. The trauma service is Consultant led, with 20 trauma lists per week (4 on Monday, 3 per day Tuesday to Friday and 2 per day Saturday and Sunday). All the Consultants provide a general Orthopaedic service and in addition they have a sub-specialty interest. There are excellent links with teaching units within the North West region.

Operative facilities are provided in 7 laminar flow theatres across the Trust with 4 at Burnley General Teaching Hospital and 3 at Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital. A comprehensive range of trauma and elective instrumentation is held and regularly updated. Outpatient clinics are based at Burnley General Teaching Hospital and Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital.

The unit is supported by a full range of radiology and pathology services. There are MR facilities on both sites.
