CHS is an exceptional place to work with many amazing teams of hard working and dedicated staff, delivering high standards of estates, facilities, clinical engineering and procurement services to Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust and other customers. From May 2025 CHS started to provide the pharmacy outpatient dispensing service for CHFT patients.
We have made significant changes in the way we work to meet the challenges of the changing NHS. Formed in 2018 and wholly owned by the Foundation Trust, the Board has full accountability for the delivery of high quality, cost effective services.
The Trust itself is currently reconfiguring its services, supported by £196.5m of capital funding from the Department of Health and Social Care to invest in local health services at both Calderdale Royal Hospital (CRH) and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary (HRI). This is a significant investment and an opportunity to enhance services for our populations in Calderdale, Huddersfield and West Yorkshire for generations to come.
These developments will provide better care for patients in modern, comfortable surroundings and support delivery of leading-edge hospital services as well as providing an exceptional and environmentally sustainable working environment to attract and retain a highly skilled workforce.
