Notice for visitors
If you are planning to visit someone in hospital but you are feeling unwell yourself with diarrhoea and vomiting and/or respiratory symptoms, please be advised not to visit until you are feeling well again.
Our Emergency Department is currently really busy which could lead to long waits. Our teams are doing everything they can to see and treat patients as quickly and safely as possible. Please make sure you are going to the most appropriate place for your medical needs.
Out of hours access at Blackpool Victoria Hospital
To help our patients and visitors get to the right place quickly and safely when visiting the hospital outside of normal hours (after 10pm), please use our dedicated out-of-hours entrances:
- Maternity and children’s services: Please use the dedicated Women & Children’s entrance near the main hospital entrance.
- All other services: Please enter the hospital through our A&E department.
These arrangements help our teams direct you to the appropriate area to ensure that you can get there safely and as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
