Innovative and forward thinking, the Trust is dedicated to providing safe quality healthcare for the local population of over 300,000 in the Wigan Borough and surrounding areas. Over £200 million is spent each year on a diverse range of reputable general hospital and specialist acute services.

The Trust has three hospital sites, the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary in Wigan, Leigh Infirmary and Wrightington Hospital which is a leading centre for orthopaedic excellence and where hip replacements were pioneered in the early 1960s. The Trust also operates the Thomas Linacre Centre, a state-of-the-art outpatient's centre in Wigan town centre.

The Trust is delighted to collaborate with AccessAble to provide an Accessibility Guide to healthcare services across its facilities.
