The West Yorkshire Healthier Together website (available at www.wyhealthiertogether.nhs.uk) is a free website developed by local healthcare professionals to help parents and carers keep their children safe and healthy. Twitter_HighlyCommended.jpg

The website was announced as runner up and highly commended at national healthcare excellence awards in the ‘Improving out of hospital care through digital’ category. 

The website launched in June 2022 and within the first year has had 96,757 people visit the website. A testament to the useability of the site is that 14% of those using the website were return users with over 204,000 page views.

From chicken pox, coughs, colds and croup to a high temperature and asthma the site provides helpful advice and information when parents and carers might need it the most.

The Partnership was incredibly proud to launch the site in 2022 and thrilled to receive such positive recognition just a year on The West Yorkshire Healthier Together website logo.jpgand it is great news for our local communities, local families and workforce.

The national HSJ Digital Awards 2023 are a special occasion to celebrate excellence in digitising, connecting, and transforming health and care and the website was a finalist at an award ceremony held in Manchester on 22 June.
