Welcome to Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust

Please do not visit if you are feeling unwell or have respiratory symptoms. Both the Flu and COVID viruses are circulating locally. It's our priority to protect our vulnerable patients and our staff and we thank you for your support.

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.

Signage will indicate where you need to wear one and our staff may also ask you to put a mask on. You no longer need to wear a mask in non-clinical areas such as corridors and restaurants - though we will still provide them if you choose to do so.

Thank you for helping us all stay safe!

Here is a summary of our visiting guidance. Please read our full visiting guidance here
