Emily Margison, 20, from Preston, was last seen at around 11.15am on April 6 at Chorley Hospital. She has known links to Manchester, Rochdale, Darwen, Blackburn and Burnley.
Emily was reported missing a few days later and enquiries have been ongoing ever since to find her to no avail. Police say they are 'extremely concerned' about her and have made a direct plea to her in their appeal.
