The five provider NHS trusts in Lancashire and South Cumbria are working together as partners, delivering joint priorities to improve health and healthcare.
Together, we aim to drive up quality by sharing skills and best practice, pooling our resources and standardising the way we work to reduce variation and duplication.
We want to ensure patients have equal access to the same high-quality care wherever they live. We also want our colleagues to have the same high-quality experience wherever they work.
One Lancashire and South Cumbria (One LSC) and University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay has a firm commitment to strengthening the diversity of our workforce, and therefore welcome and encourage applications from likeminded people who can support our ambition to become effortlessly inclusive.
