Work Experience

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, we have been advised to postpone any work experience and work shadowing placements.
 
The situation will be reviewed from April 2021 and an update will be provided on this website.
 
Apologies for any inconveniences caused.

​Overview
At East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust, we aim to offer a variety of work experience opportunities in both clinical and non-clinical areas. Work Experience within the NHS offers an excellent insight into the wide range of healthcare professions. 
Within ELHT, we have 5 main hospitals sites, Royal Blackburn, Burnley General, Accrington Victoria, Clitheroe Community and Pendle Community. We also have various healthcare buildings under the ELHT umbrella, such as Barbara Castle Way Medical Centre, St Peter’s Centre, Rossendale, Accrington PALS and more. We offer work experience placements at all sites.
