Closed Stop plans to remove specialist vascular surgery from the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust.

Closed on

Ensuring short journey times could be the difference between a surgeon being able to save a patient’s limbs or even their lives.
By removing services from Lancaster, the Cumbria and North Lancashire NHS trusts would be putting the lives of those who live in our more isolated communities at unnecessary risk.
For over 40 years, our Vascular Unit has developed a regional and national reputation, based on excellence of speciality training, and has played its part in national and international research and development.
We desperately need this unit to continue.
