About the Harbour
The Harbour is situated on the Fylde Coast in Lancashire, with the Ribble Valley to the South, the Bowland Hills to the East and not too distant from the Lake District. It also has the benefits of being situated in a quiet area, very close to motorway links, just off the M55.
The Harbour consists of a variety of wards, including Adult Acute, Psychiatric Intensive Care Units, Older Adult Wards and Dementia Wards. The teams work very closely to support each other and there is a clear focus on support and professional development of our nurses.
We have a wealth of disciplines based at the Harbour, including Psychologists, Occupational Health Nurses, Health and Wellbeing Workers, Physical Health Nurses, Pharmacists and Psychiatric consultants. This ensures a holistic way of working and enables us to deliver the highest standard of care to our patients.
