Following the public consultation a decision on the future model for health care in East Lancashire has been made. This means that although the vast
majority of your current contact with the NHS won’t change (e.g. GP and outpatient services) there will be significant changes to services at Royal Blackburn Hospital and Burnley General Hospital as well as across primary care based services in East Lancashire. The aim is to have implemented the bulk of the MPN service changes by December 2007.
What are the main changes planned? New services In primary care
Efforts to move care closer to people's homes have led to the building of state-of-the-art health centres throughout East Lancashire's communities.
Burnley's 10 story St. Peter's Centre, combining health and sport facilities for the town; Pendles 'Yarnspinners' Health Centre in Nelson; Rossendale's new Bacup Health Centre; Accrington has two new health centres worth more than £7 million under way; Darwen has opened a new health centre; and in Ribble Valley around £1 million is being spent on refur bishing and extending Clitheroe Health Centre.
These schemes have given a lift to local communi ties by bringing facilities fit for the 21st Century to the doorstep of local residents.
Separation of emergency care from planned care lor Inpatients
When the changes are made inpatient emergen cies and 'high risk' planned surgery will be at the Royal Blackburn Hospital. Routine planned care will take place at Burnley General Hospital.
This separation means that we can build up greater clinical expertise at both main hospital sites and will make sure that planned care isn't cancelled because of the demands of emergency care.
All day cases, out-patients clinics, diagnostics (X-rays/blood tests) will continue to be provided from both hospital sites or indeed even closerto where people live in new primary care buildings.
Separation Of major and minor emergency care
The Royal Blackburn Hospital will become
the Emergency
Department for East Lancashire - receiving patients with major illness and injuries from across East Lancashire.
Burnley General Hospital will continue to see and
treat up to 87% of its current patients with minor illness and injuries in its new 24 hour/7 days a week Urgent Care Centre - some of these patients will receive a service even closer to their homes through a network of these centres.
New Primary Care Rapid Response clinics at both Blackburn and Burnley will receive referrals from GPs who request an urgent consultant opinion.
This means that all major and minor emergencies will be dealt with by the right people in the right place with the right equipment.
Centralisation of all inpatient paediatric care (emergencies and planned treatment) on to the Royal Blackburn Hospital site.
The Royal Blackburn Hospital will become the specialist centre for all inpatient paediatric care. Burnley General Hospital will have a Paediatric Observation and Assessment Unit supported by additional paediatric hospital at home services.
This means that sick children will receive the best possible specialist treatment when they need it most.

Free Shuttle Bus Service for Staff and the Public
The Trust made a commitment, during its consulta tion with the public and stakeholders in 2006 to pro vide a free shuttle bus service between the Royal Blackburn Hospital and Burnley General Hospital for staff, patients and visitors
The service will commence on 21st May, 2007, with journeys for patients and visitors running from 8.45am to 8.15pm (last bus) Monday to Friday and during the afternoon period at weekends and on Bank Holidays. Initially, two mini-buses will be used to provide the service, but the size and number of vehi cles will be reviewed over the first few months of operation and in the light of experience, a permanent service will be introduced. The average journey time between the sites is approximately 30 minutes
The shuttle buses will pick up and drop off 7 days per week from the Main Hospital Entrance at the Royal Blackburn Hospital and from the Phase 5 Entrance at Burnley General Hospital. The bus will also pickup and drop off from the Prairie Car Park (junction of Windermere Avenue and Colne Road) on a Monday to Friday basis.

Better care (or patients with long term conditions.
Patients with long term conditions (e.g. diabetes) will receive care and support much closer to home through a network of primary care based services.
This means that people with long term conditions are cared for closer to home, only needing to come into hospital when they have to.
Women’s Heath services
Services for women with complex needs will be centred on the Burnley General Hospital site - sup ported by Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care and a Maternity High Dependency Unit service.
Midwifery led deliveries will be expanded at home or in new birthing centres.
This means that women will receive greater choice of where to give birth and have access to the best possible specialist treatment when they or their child needs it.
