What we do
Locala Health & Wellbeing is proud to be a leading provider of publicly funded health and care services in communities across West Yorkshire and Greater Manchester.
As an independent not-for-profit social enterprise, we possess operational, legal and financial flexibility so we can tailor our services to meet the needs of our communities – and any financial surplus is re-invested straight back into supporting patient care, and our communities through Social Value initiatives.
We’re here for people at all stages of their life. Our services range from health visiting to district nursing, sexual health, school nursing, physiotherapy to end of life care. Plus, dental care and podiatry. Our colleagues always aim to provide high-quality, value for money care and support people closer to home.
We work with GPs and other key partners including social care, local NHS organisations, local authorities, community pharmacies, social prescribers, patient groups and VCSE organisations to ensure a co-ordinated approach to health and social care services.
We are providing more services to more people and communities, including the expansion of our sexual health services into Greater Manchester, our self-care support and our outreach work into communities through our clinical van pilot project. Crucially, we have also successfully retained our largest community services contract which provides us with significant stability for the next strategic period.
Our new strategy outlines how we will develop by also providing self-funded health and care services to meet community needs, improve our financial sustainability and create growth opportunities. As an employer, our engagement scores continue to rise, with Locala colleagues now the most engaged of any provider in the region.
