This week’s leadership message is from Rob Webster, CEO, NHS West Yorkshire ICB and Lead CEO for the West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 09:05:00 +0000

Thank you for all your work in 2025 and the difference you continue to make in all of our communities in West Yorkshire. It’s been a year that has tested the mettle of everyone in the system and one that has challenged all of our communities. The professionalism, commitment and impactful collaboration of all partners has seen a number of successes and some progress being made across all of our objectives. In a world where hate crimes and atrocities have affected many of our communities, and where redundancies and reorganisation dominate the narrative around our work, we cannot and should not let this progress go un-noticed and unheralded.

This week’s leadership message is from Rob Webster (CEO, NHS West Yorkshire ICB and Lead CEO for the West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership) and Fatima Khan-Shah (West Yorkshire Inclusivity Champion)
