Clifton is a community hospital based in Lytham St Annes and is part of Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Clifton Hospital in-patient Wards provide a rehabilitation service for patients that are transferred from an acute hospital such as Blackpool Victoria Hospital or from their own home by one of the community health teams supporting them.
Each of the wards provide a nurse/therapy led holistic pathway for inpatient rehabilitation to people who are transferred to it for a period of rehabilitation or as part of a complex discharge planning process. Patients receive input from the multi-professional team to return home independently or with support from social services or care agency. Some patients may transfer from Clifton Hospital to care homes for ongoing care.
The approach utilised at Clifton Hospital is person centred, comprehensive and cohesive to enable the people of Blackpool and the Fylde coast to remain as independent as possible within the community.
