About our Trust
Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (MWL) serves a large population with a combined workforce of around 11,000 dedicated and skilled staff.
Our staff deliver care from a range of locations including hospitals, community locations and in patient’s own homes.
We strongly believe that the communities we serve should all have access to Five Star Patient Care.
Our Services include:

We provide emergency and maternity services at Whiston, Southport and Ormskirk hospitals, as well as a range of medical and surgical specialties across all our hospitals, including St Helens and Newton.

We provide primary care services from Marshalls Cross Medical Centre, situated in St Helens Hospital.

We provide adult community services for the Boroughs of St Helens and West Lancashire, and a wheelchair service for people in Chorley, South Ribble and West Lancashire.
Our inpatient unit, at Newton Hospital, is where patients who no longer need an acute hospital bed can continue rehabilitation, freeing up space for patients who are more unwell.
Additionally, we provide urgent care at our Urgent Treatment Centre in the Millennium Centre located in St Helens town centre.

We also provide the Mersey Regional Burns and Plastic Surgery Unit at Whiston Hospital and the spinal injuries unit at Southport District General Hospital, to more than four million people across the whole of Merseyside and West Lancashire, Cheshire, the Isle of Man and North Wales.
