About the Role
Applications are sought for a Consultant in Vascular Surgery for East Lancashire Hospital, part of the Lancashire and South Cumbria Vascular Network. East Lancashire Hospital is across two sites, Blackburn and Burnley Hospital. The Lancashire and South Cumbria Vascular Network will cover a population of over 2 million people, centred chiefly in the towns to the south of the region but extending to cover the Lake District, East Pennines and Morecambe Bay. The post offers an exciting opportunity to support the expanding and developing vascular services offered by a busy network in what is likely to become one of the largest vascular networks in the UK.
The network’s inpatient activity is currently managed at the two designated vascular specialist centres at Preston (Lancashire Teaching Hospitals Trust) and Blackburn (East Lancashire Hospital Trust). The long-term goal of the network is for a single arterial centre based at Preston and the business case for Lancashire and South Cumbria Network is currently under development, with submission in 2025. This current post will be based at Blackburn until the full merger the date for this is not yet known.
