This new Specialist Cardiac Centre enables Blackpool, Fylde & Wyre NHS Trust to double the number of heart procedures carried out and reduce waiting times for heart patients in Lancashire and South Cumbria.
The unit includes five cardiac operating theatres, four cardiac catheter laboratories, a 20-bed Intensive Care Unit, more than 100 ward beds, an X-Ray room and an Outpatients Department.
The strong partnering ethos developed in delivering the project under the NHS ProCure21 programme ensured that a coordinated approach could be taken. The result is a new unit that meets the needs of clinicians and patients alike.
