About the Hospital
Blackpool Teaching Hospitals is an acute hospital with many community supporting functions across the Fylde Coast and wider Lancashire. Blackpool Hospital sits within Blackpool itself close to the picturesque Stanley Park and within walking distance of the town centre. Blackpool has a highly transient population due to being a very busy seaside resort, which makes this role both unique and challenging for the right candidate.
It is an exciting time to become part of the Blackpool Teaching Hospitals Family as we embark on a transformational change journey in the way we provide services to our patients and their families across our Integrated Care System.
