Who We Are
We provide hospital and community healthcare to the residents of the Wigan Borough and provide specialist services to a much wider regional, national and international catchment area. We put people at the heart. We listen and involve. We are kind and respectful. We are one team. We are WWL.
Our Hospitals and Locations
We provide a wide range of patient centred, high quality health and care services; from community services embedded within local areas, to acute care including world-class specialist services. Our three main sites are the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary (Wigan), Leigh Infirmary and Wrightington Hospital. We provide services in a number of community locations, people’s homes and virtually.
