Our Partnership is made up of organisations working closely together to plan services and address the challenges facing health and care services across the area.
In this section you will find links to useful information and publications about our partnership.
We are committed to meaningful conversations with people, on the right issues at the right time. We believe this is an important part of the way we work.

We are recruiting two public representatives to be members of the West Yorkshire and Harrogate Health and Care Partnership Climate Change Steering Group. The steering group has only met once and wishes to expand its membership to ensure it is as inclusive as possible, gaining views and ideas from a wide diversity of people. The group will provide a strategic forum for advising on the development and delivery of plans, to achieve our stated ambition to become a global leader in responding to the climate emergency through increased mitigation, investment and culture change throughout our system.
No previous experience or expertise is required although all previous experience and expertise is welcomed. This is an unpaid position although reasonable expenses such as travel can be claimed back if required. Please complete and/or share the expression of interest with your networks and contacts.

We are announcing three upcoming schemes that we will be running as part of the climate change programme:
Do you have an idea to help people move more? Would you like some money to enable you to try something radical to get people out of their cars or to create a safer/quieter/healthier community?
If so; more information, including eligibility criteria and application form for our grants of up to £5000 is available on the travel grants page. Applications close at 1700h on Monday 7th December. For further information, please contact frank.swinton@nhs.net
Did you know that inhalers are some of the medicines that contribute the most to climate change? We are keen to find solutions that reduce their impact in a safe and patient-centred way. We will run two schemes on respiratory care, targeted at PCNs and practices.
The first will be an innovative behaviour change intervention for patients with asthma using a large amount of salbutamol, where we will make available funding and support to help these patients achieve better asthma control.
The second will involve larger grants for practice or PCN –led innovation to improve the quality of respiratory care through patient-centred approaches while reducing the carbon footprint.
To register your interest and find out more about these two respiratory care schemes please contact yannishnaik@nhs.net
We will fund 100 spaces on a Centre for Sustainable Healthcare course for people working in West Yorkshire and Harrogate health and care. This includes the following courses
To register for one of these funded spaces, please email yannishnaik@nhs.net. You will need to secure the time from your manager to attend.
