About us
We have a long and proud history of caring for generations of local people and can trace our roots all the way back to 1814 with the first hospital in Bolton - the Bolton Dispensary in the town centre.
Bolton NHS Foundation Trust was formed in 2008 and, in 2011, we became an integrated provider with community health services joining the trust. Covering a catchment area that also incorporates parts of Bury, Wigan and Salford, we deliver hospital and community based services from the Royal Bolton Hospital in Farnworth and from 20 health centres across Bolton, to a catchment population of 310,000+ people.
The Royal Bolton Hospital is a major hub within Greater Manchester for women's and children's services and is the busiest single ambulance-receiving site in Greater Manchester. We're structured in four clinical divisions - Community Services, Families and Diagnostics, Medicine, and Surgery and are led by a Board of Directors. As an NHS Foundation Trust we're accountable to our members and have a Council of Governors to represent the views of patients, public, staff and partners.
Buildings, names and models of care have changed over the centuries, but one thing has remained constant and is prevalent among our 6,718 staff members: the enduring commitment to providing the best health and care for the people of Bolton.

On-call commitments would be shared equally between all 5 consultants. Each consultant has a fixed on-call day during the week. Bolton NHS Foundation (BFT) operates a joint weekend on-call rota (Friday to Monday AM) with Preston Hospital and this currently enables a 1:9 (this frequency can change in future)
Junior doctor cover on call is provided by F1 doctor and the F2 / CT trainee on call. The Specialty doctors/registrar also participate in shared weekend on call cover along with cover during the weekdays. This means the consultant on-call has middle grade assistance for both weekdays and over the weekend.
