Important:

We served a warning notice on Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust on 29 June 2026 for failing to meet the regulations at the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary. This was due to concerns in its urgent and emergency services regarding the effectiveness of its triage system, its response to suspected cases of sepsis, and the management of patients including children with mental health needs.
