Help Us to Make a Difference
Our purpose is to care for people. Established as a community owned social enterprise in 2004 to deliver health services across West Yorkshire, our aim is to meet the needs and expectations of our patients, and our NHS and social care partners.
As a partner within the Integrated Care System, we take on a significant role straddling both primary and secondary care services 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. We work with our partners in Urgent and Emergency Care to make high-quality services that are easy to access and understand, while ensuring people in our communities can receive the right advice, care and support in the right place and as close to home as possible.
Funded by the public, we have a duty to ensure we operate effectively and efficiently, and that we are sustainable by reinvesting financial surpluses into our services and the community.
We would love to hear from you if you would like to join our membership, which is full of people who want to contribute to our purpose to care for people. By joining the Local Care Direct membership scheme, you will be able to:
