About the Network

Critical Care Operational Delivery Networks

Quality through collaboration

The Critical Care Network in West Yorkshire was established in 2002 as a collaborative partnership bringing together clinical services to work collaboratively to promote the highest quality critical care services.

In 2012 as part of the re-organisation of services in the NHS the critical care networks became Operational Delivery Networks.
