This report highlights the powerful and wide-reaching impact of global partnerships across West Yorkshire.
These partnerships bring to life the missions of West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership: to reduce health inequalities, manage unwarranted variations in care, and secure the broader benefits of investing in health and care. Through shared learning, ethical collaboration, and a commitment to equity, global partnerships contribute directly to better outcomes for people in our region, and beyond.
Rooted in our values, our global partnerships are a testament to our ambition for the people we serve and the staff we employ. They reflect our belief that improving health and care outcomes in West Yorkshire is supported and enabled by learning from, and working with, communities around the world. They also demonstrate our commitment to being a good global citizen.
The evidence and stories in this report show that global partnerships are not only ethically grounded and mutually beneficial; they deliver real, tangible benefits for our communities, workforce, and services. Global partnerships foster leadership and innovation, support wellbeing, and help us build a more inclusive, culturally competent, and resilient system.
We are proud of the progress made so far and what we have achieved. Global partnerships are not an addition to our work, they are central to how we deliver better health and care for all. We extend our sincere thanks to everyone involved and look forward to continuing to champion global partnerships as part of our shared future.
