Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides district hospital care for central Lancashire and specialist services for patients across Lancashire and South Cumbria. Its main sites are Royal Preston Hospital and Chorley and South Ribble Hospital, with additional rehabilitation and outpatient facilities supporting local pathways.

Both hospitals provide planned and diagnostic care, while Royal Preston is the principal emergency site and a regional centre for major trauma, neurosciences and other complex specialties. The Trust's wider services cover medicine, surgery, cancer, maternity, children's care, critical care and rehabilitation. Strong education and research roles are reflected in its teaching status, with clinical training and innovation delivered through its Health Academy and partnerships with universities and regional NHS organisations.
