Bradford and Airedale Teaching Primary Care Trust

Bradford and Airedale Teaching Primary Care Trust was the name of the publicly funded healthcare system which serves the City of Bradford and Airedale in West Yorkshire and is part of the NHS. The teaching primary care trust governs healthcare services in the area and like most NHS services, the majority of services are free at the point of use. It was abolished in April 2013.

The teaching primary care trust provided primary health care and community services or commissions them from other providers.

The teaching primary care trust merged from four separate primary care trusts (Airedale, North Bradford, South and West, and City) in 2007.

Bradford and Airedale Teaching Primary Care Trust is also a teaching primary care trust, which has specific hospitals where medical students can learn in a practical setting.[1]

The teaching primary care trust is managed by a board of directors made up of eight directors and headed by a chief executive, Simon Morritt. The chairman of the trust is a non-executive director, John Chuter OBE.

The finances of the teaching primary care trust, like most primary care trusts and teaching primary care trusts, are largely determined by directives set by the strategic health authority or the Department of Health.
