Clatterbridge Health Park is a campus of otherwise independent, health care-related organisations, including three separate NHS trusts.[1]
Located in Bebington, Wirral, close to Junction 4 of the M53 motorway, the health park was the former site of the defunct Wirral Union Workhouse. As such, it shares much of its history with that of Clatterbridge Hospital.
