From 1 April 2025, Connect Health will provide MSK (Adult Integrated Community Musculoskeletal (MSK) and Pain Management) services in the Kirklees district.
This will mean a change for patients living in the Huddersfield area.
The change in provider follows a re-procurement of services by NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB), where the new provider is Connect Health with some services provided by Locala.
Secondary care referrals and post-operative pathways will continue to be delivered by our Trust.
If your referral has been received by Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust before 1 February 2025, you do not need to do anything. Your episode of care will be completed within the existing service. Referrals after this date will be transferred to the new provider.
All patients affected by the change of provider have been contacted. Further information can be found on the Kirklees Health and Care Partnership website: A new provider for Musculoskeletal services in Kirklees
