The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust was formed in April 2002 when the former Pinderfields and Pontefract Hospitals NHS Trust and Dewsbury Health Care NHS Trust merged together.

We are a large acute hospital trust, serving the communities of Wakefield District and North Kirklees, which makes up around half a million people. We also treat patients from surrounding areas too including South Leeds, North Yorkshire, Barnsley and Doncaster.

Most of our services are provided from our three main hospital sites - Pinderfields General Hospital, Dewsbury and District Hospital and Pontefract General Infirmary. In addition, day case and outpatient services are provided from Clayton Hospital in Wakefield with some services provided at other facilities and clinics across the district.

Our Trust is run by a Board made up of a non-executive chair, five non-executive directors, five executive directors and four directors. The Board is accountable to the NHS Yorkshire and the Humber and the overview and scrutiny committees in both Wakefield and Kirklees. More information on our Board and who they are is available from the link below.
