At CHFT we already have a large membership community made up of people who live within our local areas in Calderdale and Kirklees. However, we now want to go national, so have introduced a new “Rest of England” constituency. We’re looking for members who don’t live in Calderdale and Kirklees but who are interested in our hospital Trust and its activity to join that constituency and get involved with us. You may live in another part of Yorkshire for example.
This is going to be crucial as we become part of the West Yorkshire and Harrogate integrated care system (ICS), which will see us forming new partnerships with all the different organisations that provide health and care services across the whole of West Yorkshire, not just those in our immediate area.
Do you, or anyone you know, want to join as a member of our brand new constituency? Our members need to be over 16 years of age, and membership of the Rest of England constituency will be open to anyone who lives outside Calderdale or Kirklees. Joining is really easy – simply visit the ‘About Us’ page on our website – www.cht.nhs.uk – and complete our on-line form.
E-mail me at vanessa.henderson@cht.nhs.uk for further information about this new and exciting opportunity to become a ‘Rest of Englander’!
