The construction of the new A&E was an opportunity for us to give back. Our construction partners for HRI A&E, Integrated Health Projects, published a report in November 2023 which details the social impact the project has had on our local communities. If you need this report in a plain text format for accessibility reasons, please contact communications@cht.nhs.uk. 

Our partners were almost exclusively local - local firms, and a local workforce using local suppliers.

We also had a special link-up with Kirklees College. Apprentices from the college spet a one week work placement on-site with us, alongside experienced construction workers in areas such as plumbing, electrical and bricklaying.
