In addition, we have a variety of other clinical support teams who we work alongside through an MDT approach to care ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients. Our multi-disciplinary team in Geriatric Medicine is highly motivated and friendly and they have worked together towards establishing frailty and geriatric services in this Trust. We now want to continue building on this positive work by assessing more frail patients at the front door, thus improving patient outcomes. We have developed a video with some of our key roles within the Directorate to tell you in their words what it is like working for Blackpool Teaching Hospitals within the attached link: Whether you aspire to set down some roots in a seaside resort or in one of our more rural towns across the Fylde Coast, there are plenty of good local schools and some very competitive house prices to allow you to maximise your NHS salary to get an excellent standard of living.

We also have a rehabilitation hospital based in the seaside resort of Lytham St. Annes.
