Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is an NHS Foundation Trust providing health services in North Lancashire, England. It runs Blackpool Victoria Hospital which is a large busy acute hospital; two smaller community hospitals - Clifton Hospital and Fleetwood Hospital; three elderly rehabilitation hospitals - Wesham Hospital Rehabilitation Unit, Rossall Hospital Rehabilitation Unit; the National Artificial Eye Service; Blenheim House Child Development Centre and community health services for North Lancashire.
The organisation gained Foundation Trust status in 2007 as Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
In December 2013 the Trust was one of thirteen hospital trusts named by Dr Foster Intelligence as having higher than expected higher mortality indicator scores for the period April 2012 to March 2013 in their Hospital Guide 2013.[1]
The Trust recorded a deficit of £0.5 Million in 2012-13 but predicts a surplus of £3.2m in 2013-14.[2]
The Trust was instrumental in devising and piloting a health care plan in 2015 to give youngsters who suffer from diabetes an individualised care ‘manual’, so school teaching staff know about their condition.[3]
