We are currently working with the West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership to develop student led services. This not only provides students with vital experience in clinical settings and the opportunity improve their skills and knowledge, this also delivers more services for patients in the local community.

The Partnership serves a large geographic area and are exploring innovative ways of delivering services where they are most needed. For example, these could be in more traditional primary, secondary health care settings or delivered via mobile service provision, in people’s homes, in community or faith centres, and in education settings (schools, colleges and universities).
