Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust runs Family Health services across the Bradford Council area.

We provide health visiting services, school nursing services including a special educational needs school nursing team and a vaccination and immunisation service. We also offer oral health programmes, health services for children looked after by the Council, those who are leaving care and children and young people who are supported by youth offending services.

In Wakefield, we also provide a school vaccination and immunisation service.

Prevention and early help

In Bradford we work closely with the Council across the four Family Hubs. The Hubs cover all of the Bradford Council District and there is more information on each link about what is happening in your area including our Well Baby clinics: Keighley and Shipley, Bradford East, Bradford West and Bradford South.

Need Information about you and how we use it

When you are seen by any of our services we will record relevant information about you and your health, on paper and computer, to help us care for you. This information is part of your life long health record and will be kept in case we need to see you again. By sharing this information with other healthcare professionals and services we can make sure that we provide you with the best possible care – whenever and wherever you need it. If you were to become unwell, the more information each professional has about you and your health the better we are able to care for you.

All NHS staff are bound by law and a strict code of confidentiality and only staff who are directly involved in your care can see your records. The information we record and who it may be shared with, can differ depending on which of our services you use. See more details about how your information will be stored.

Compliments and complaints

We’re always keen to hear your experience of our services, this is then used to help improve services for people in the future. There are various ways you can leave your feedback which are all available on the Trust website. If you want to make a compliment or complaint about care you can contact our Patient Advice and Complaints team.

DBS checks

All staff working with children and parents have been subjected to checks by the Disclosure and Barring Service. These are known as DBS checks and in 2013 the DBS checks replaced the older style CRB checks. These are in addition to recruitment checks and ensure we make informed and safe recruitment decisions, based on nationally held records, and prevent unsuitable people from working with children and vulnerable people.
