As well as being the local general hospital, the Trust includes the Lancashire Cardiac Unit, a tertiary referral centre. This district has the highest elderly population (21.4% of local population 65 or over) in the North-Western Region, leading to a corresponding preponderance of age-related eye disease viz: cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration. A sub-regional AMD treatment service is provided (PDT and anti-VEGF).
