New staff must be willing to learn new skills and ways of working to enhance their owndevelopment and benefit the department.

Working in cancer care requires the ability to communicate and empathise with people living with life threatening, and life limiting disease. This is an area where the department excels, and we would look to promote and develop this in any new members of the team.

FGH and the RLI have a range of General Hospital services, with full Emergency Departments, Critical/Coronary Care units and various Consultant-led services.

WGH provides a range of General Hospital services, together with an Urgent Treatment Centre, that can help with a range of non-life threatening conditions such as broken bones and minor illnesses.

All three main hospitals provide a range of planned care including outpatients, diagnostics, therapies, day case and inpatient surgery. In addition, a range of local outreach services and diagnostics are provided from community facilities across Morecambe Bay.
