Drop in events are being held at our hospitals on proposed changes to older people’s mental health inpatient services in Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield. Come along on the dates below to find out more and ask any questions you may have:

• Huddersfield Royal Infirmary (main entrance) – Monday, 4th March, 9 - 11.30am
• Calderdale Royal Hospital (main entrance) – Wednesday, 6th  March, 1 - 3.30pm

The consultation asks people to share their views about creating specialist inpatient wards for older people with dementia, and dedicated wards for older people living with other mental health needs such as anxiety, depression or psychosis, which are known as ‘functional mental health needs’.

Please share with colleagues, patients, and people you may know who may be interested. You can find out more about the consultation, fill in the survey, and find out about other events, on the website: www.southwestyorkshire.nhs.uk/opsconsultation.

The consultation is being run by South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) and will close on 29 March 2024.
