Acute services are centred on Blackpool Victoria Hospital, supported by sites including Clifton Hospital, Fleetwood Hospital and several primary care and health centres.

It also provides regional cardiac and haematology care and hosts the National Artificial Eye Service for patients across England. Awarded teaching hospital status in 2010, the trust combines clinical services with education and medical research.
