Reports
Healthwatch Kirklees and Healthwatch Calderdale were asked by Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust (CHFT) to engage with people in our areas regarding the current visiting options at Calderdale Royal Hospital and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary. Healthwatch and CHFT wanted to know what patients, visitors, carers, and staff feel about hospital visiting. They plan to use this feedback to shape the future visiting policy set by CHFT.
The engagement project gathered detailed feedback from a wide range of stakeholders, including patients, visitors, carers, and hospital staff. The objective was to identify areas for improvement in visiting times, visitor numbers, and accessibility, as well as to uncover potential barriers faced by different demographic groups.
