First of all, I just want to say a massive thank you to the staff of Leyland Ward at Chorley and South Ribble Hospital for the amazing care they gave me during my recovery from spinal decompression surgery. This was my first time going under the knife and I could not of been made to feel more at ease and felt cared for by the fantastic team here, They will go above and beyond to ensure you are as comfortable as possible and are a real credit to the NHS. Day or night, these ladies will be a call away offering true heartfelt care to patients like myself listening to every need or request and doing the best in their ability to accommodate as best they can. Again thank you so much to this incredible team you really have been amazing.

I live on the south coast of England but needed to visit the Urgent care centre whilst staying with my daughter. I was blown away with the amazing service I received - our local hospital has a lot to learn from you. The receptionists were very friendly and helpful, such a contrast to my local hospital where they just view you as an inconvenience. I was impressed by some of the questions that I was asked, such as was it OK to inform people that I was at the centre if anyone called. Having worked in adult and child protection in the past, I found this such a proactive and reassuring question. All the staff I met introduced themselves by their name and gave me the impression that they were not rushed and wanted to listen to me. I was seen swiftly by Triage, followed by an ECG and then seen by the doctor. All in all I only spent just over an hour there, which was very speedy. I came away feeling that people in Chorley are very lucky to have such a good service to help them. I know that sometimes there is a belief that everything is better in the south, well I can confirm that for most of the time, its not better and a lot of the time its a lot worse !
