We’ve delved into our archives to find pictures of the NHS staff who have cared for the people of Lancaster and Morecambe through the years.
From surgeons and doctors to administration staff, fundraisers and those who cook the hospital meals, they have all had a part to play in shaping medical care across the district. There will be some familiar faces, especially if you have worked at the hospital.

The equipment was accepted by Accident and Emergency consultant Stuart Durham, paramedic Steve Price, technician Alan Middleton and Paul Bastow from the Lancashire Ambulance Service.
