Working for our organisation

Airedale is ambitious about its future and has already established an excellent reputation for innovative developments for example providing telemedicine to a number of prisons and nursing homes. We fully recognise the range and diversity of the increasing demands, expectations and challenges over the next few years, that requires a significant shift in emphasis away from episodic care to population based health, with partners coming together to meet our local population’s health and social care needs.

 The last year has been like no other, particularly within the NHS, we are extremely proud of the response of our people and our communities to the pandemic. Like all NHS organisations, we face a challenging future and we need to be nimble and proactive in responding to the NHS Long Term Plan and the significant changes facing the NHS in line with the white paper. At all times we will maintain our focus and uncompromising approach to high quality and safe services for the population of Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven.
