New films showcase Calderdale’s Winter Hubs and the difference they’re making for patients in

New films highlighting Calderdale’s Winter Hubs have been released, showcasing how the services are helping local people access additional GP appointments and care closer to home.

Delivered by Pennine GP Alliance (PGPA), in collaboration with its member GP practices and wider NHS partners, the 10 Winter Hubs provide more than 200 additional GP appointments every weekday across Calderdale.

The services include five Same Day Children’s Hubs, supporting children and young people under 17 who need a same-day appointment, and five Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) Hubs, providing additional support for people with respiratory infections.

The new films bring the services to life, featuring the people involved in delivering them and showing how the hubs work to support patients and local GP practices.

They also highlight the value of partnership working across Calderdale’s health and care system, with GP practices and NHS partners working together to provide additional capacity and improve access to care for local communities.

How to access the Winter Hubs

Patients in Calderdale can access the Winter Hubs by contacting their GP practice as usual if they need a same-day appointment. The practice will assess their needs and arrange an appointment at an appropriate hub where suitable.

The Winter Hubs continue to operate throughout winter 2026/27, helping more people get the care they need, closer to home.

We’d encourage local residents, community organisations and partners to share the films to help raise awareness of the services available across Calderdale.
