Welcome to Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust

Please do not visit if you are feeling unwell or have respiratory symptoms. Severe cold, flu, COVID and other illnesses are circulating locally. It's our priority to protect our vulnerable patients and our staff and we thank you for your support.

Open visiting extended throughout January 2023.

There is currently daily open visiting between 12pm and 8pm subject to following our usual infection prevention and control rules. 

• We can only accommodate two visitors per patient at any one time.
  • On adult inpatient wards this can include one child under the age of 16 as long as their parent/guardian has consented. They must be accompanied by an adult and they are counted as part of the two visitors.
  • On paediatric wards, siblings can be accommodated between the hours of 12pm and 7pm. Please liaise with the Nurse in Charge so that we can avoid overcrowding at key periods
• We may ask you to step out from time to time to support patient care.
• Please DO NOT visit if you have a respiratory condition (cough, cold, flu, Covid) as we have very vulnerable patients in our hospitals
• Virtual visiting continues to be an option 
• We ask all visitors coming into our hospitals and our health centres to wear a face mask in clinical and ward areas. Our priority remains as ever to continue to protect our patients, visitors and staff. If you are unable to wear a mask, alternate arrangements will be made.

We are currently seeking the views of patients and local communities about our visiting offer. The survey is open until the end of January and can be completed here.
