Clifton Hospital inpatient wards provide a rehabilitation service for patients transferred from an acute hospital such as Blackpool Victoria or from their own home by one of the community health teams. We have four wards of 24 beds each.

The inpatient wards at Clifton Hospital are nurse and therapy-led which means the people responsible for your care are the nurses and therapists. You may be seen by a doctor during your stay if the nurses or therapists feel this is necessary.

We aim to return patients to independent living or with support from social services or a care agency. Some patients may transfer to a care home.

Our approach 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.

We ask visitors if they have been feeling unwell in the past 48 hours that they should refrain from visiting until that are well again.

Patients can usually receive visitors from 9.30am. This is a full list of visiting teams for both Clifton and Blackpool Victoria hospitals.

Clifton Hospital supports the John’s campaign.

Relatives and carers should not just be allowed on the wards but should be welcomed. We see the support that relatives and carers can provide for patients as an important part of their stay with us at Clifton Hospital.

We ask relatives, carers and friends to not visit during meal times which are 8.30m, 12pm and 5pm unless they are specifically helping you eat your meal. However, if your relatives or friend wishes to visit you within these times, speak to the nurse on duty and they will try to accommodate this.
