Patients are being advised about the movement of the Gynaecology Ward and Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit (EPAU) at Burnley General Teaching Hospital which are temporarily moving whilst improvement works take place.

Moving last Friday, April 21, they will now be based in a different area of Burnley General Teaching Hospital at Area 7, level three, ward 16.

If patients have an appointment moving forward, they are asked to attend the new location.

Patients who have been referred for an urgent assessment between 8.30pm and 8am will need to attend the Gynaecology and Breast Care Ward, which can be accessed via the Urgent Care Entrance at Burnley General Teaching Hospital.

They are advised to check-in at The Urgent Care Reception, and they will be safely transferred to the Gynaecology and Breast Care Ward for assessment.
