About us
CHS is an exceptional place to work with many amazing teams of hard working and dedicated staff, delivering high standards of estates, facilities, clinical engineering and procurement services to Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust and other customers. From May 2025 CHS started to provide the pharmacy outpatient dispensing service for CHFT patients.
The Trust itself is currently reconfiguring its services, supported by £196.5m of capital funding from the Department of Health and Social Care to invest in local health services at both Calderdale Royal Hospital (CRH) and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary (HRI). This is a significant investment and an opportunity to enhance services for our populations in Calderdale, Huddersfield and West Yorkshire for generations to come.
These developments will provide better care for patients in modern, comfortable surroundings and support delivery of leading-edge hospital services as well as providing an exceptional and environmentally sustainable working environment to attract and retain a highly skilled workforce.
Obviously, this is an exciting time for us as we continue to develop our commercial strategy and bring services in-house. We are ensuring that the organisation is fit for purpose by embedding our values and behaviours. The four key behaviours underpinning the whole of our strategy are:
We put the patient first.
We 'go see'.
