Patients with long term conditions such as diabetes 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 absolutely have to. A free shuttle bus service is provided between the Royal Blackburn Hospital and Burnley General Hospital for staff, patients and visitors.
The shuttle buses picks up and drop off seven 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 also pickups and drops off from the Prairie Car Park (junction of Windermere Avenue and Colne Road) on a Monday to Friday basis.
