Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is situated on the picturesque Fylde Coast.

The Trust provides services to the 440,000 residents of Blackpool, Fylde & Wyre and North Lancashire, as well as specialist tertiary care for Cardiac and Haematology patients.


As one of the United Kingdom's largest coastal resort, Blackpool has plenty to offer its residents - it's not just a good place to work; it's a great place to live.

In addition to its bustling centre and historic seafront, the town is world famous for its many attractions, including the famous Blackpool Tower.

Blackpool also offers a number of scenic cycling routes round our local parks and across the surrounding countryside, as well as boasting panoramic views of the coast on its picturesque Promenade.

Further afield, Blackpool also benefits from less than three-hour connections via rail to Edinburgh in the north and London in the south.


We recommend that all individuals employed in patient facing roles, or those located on a ward or department where patients receive a service should be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

Duties will also include attendance at Neonatal network meetings (NWODN), Clinical effectiveness, Mortality meetings, audit meetings, and to provide medical input to support the Trust Governance meetings e.g Incident and Case reviews.

The lead will also be expected to review NWODN data and guidelines and feedback / communicate to the team regarding any new guidelines and pathways.
