Actually AccyMad Burnley does not have an A & E depot any more just an Urgent Care Unit. Anyone needing an ambulance is taken to Blackburn. It is absolutely ridiculous. How they expect Blackburn to cope with such a wide area is beyond me. Anyone who has a heart attack in Nelson or Burnley for that matter has far less chance of surviving the journey to Blackburn than they would have going to Burnley General. Sadly I think you fears for Accy Vic are right. It is very sad. I have fond memories of a lovely nurse known as Campie at Accy Vic in the 50s. I had to attend the A & E ever week for couple of months after falling on cinders on Alice Street running for the bus home from Peel Park. He was a super nurse.
