About Northern Health: Leading Change in Healthcare Delivery
Why Northern Health?
At Northern Health, our driving purpose is to make quality healthcare accessible to everyone. We believe in challenging conventional healthcare models to provide services that are not only essential but also revolutionary in their reach and impact. Our mission is to enhance health outcomes by making high-quality medical care accessible and preventive, rather than purely reactive.
Empowering
Our Vision for the Future
Building on our solid foundation in acute care settings, we are excited to announce our expansion into tele-health services. This new venture is designed to bring healthcare directly to the public, offering consultations via telephone and video link that can be accessed from anywhere. This expansion represents our commitment to:
Innovate Healthcare Delivery: By introducing tele-health, we are helping shape a new way primary healthcare services are accessed and delivered.
Empowering Patients: Through our tele-health services, we aim to give patients control over their health by providing flexible and immediate access to GPs.
Preventive Health Management: Extending our focus on prevention, our tele-health services will prioritise keeping patients healthy over the long term, offering more than just disease treatment.

Northern Health
How we do what we do
Since our inception in 2015, Northern Health has been focused on being at the forefront of healthcare innovation. We began by collaborating with MidYorkshire Hospitals to provide out-of-hours and acute care through our team of dedicated GPs. This partnership has been crucial in supporting the hospital network by ensuring continuous, comprehensive care in critical settings. Our approach combines:
Strategic Partnerships: Working alongside established healthcare facilities like Pontefract Urgent Treatment Centre and providing GPs for A&E at Pinderfields and Dewsbury Hospitals.
Quality and Patient-Centred Care: Ensuring that all interactions and treatments are of the highest quality and tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient.
Expanding Access: By providing critical staffing in out-of-hours settings, we ensure that patients receive care when they most need it, even outside of typical service hours.

As Northern Health embarks on this exciting new phase, we invite you to join us in transforming healthcare.
