The DHEZ Ecosystem

Working with our partners in 'the DHEZ Ecosystem'

We're delighted to work alongside a range of regional organisations to enhance our offering and knowledge to deliver positive health outcomes.

DHEZ is a hub for innovation, creative thinking, training and growth. It is also a place where we test ideas, service our patients and train our future generation of healthcare providers. We provide space for business growth and work with our partners to achieve this.

The above video shows how we are part of an ecosystem of organisations and healthcare providers using digital solutions to improve the lives of people in our region and beyond, including examples of great work from Airedale NHS Foundation Trust and the Bradford Institute For Health Research.

Our partnerships are crucial in meeting a common objective – the improvement of health for our patients through digital solutions. Find details of our partners below.
