About Us

East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust is a friendly and inclusive pharmacy team spread across sites with a large number of staff. We have a large cohort of Non-Medical Prescribers and strong links with our local universities with three teacher practitioners.

We were an early-adopter site for the RPS's Transfer of Care initiative, which led to the creation of the world's first fully integrated hospital to community pharmacy e-referral system: Refer-to-Pharmacy.

We have a Medicines Support team, Homecare team, and specialist pharmacists within the Dermatology, Rheumatology, Cardiology, and Gastroenterology directorates providing out-patient clinics. We have a dedicated AMU team offering an extended hours service.

East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust went live with an Electronic Prescribing System (ePR) in June 2023. This system has revolutionised how we work within pharmacy and as a wider Organisation.

You may also be interested to know that East Lancashire Hospitals provides onsite parking and is well connected to the motorway network, making it an easy commuting distance from Manchester and Liverpool, with many of our team hailing from these locations. The Lake District is a short drive away for leisure activities.
