Three Valleys Hospital

Three Valleys Hospital is a CQC-registered healthcare provider based at 2 Burley Court in Keighley, within the Yorkshire & Humberside region. The registered provider is Elysium Healthcare No. 4 Limited, the legal entity accountable to the regulator for the quality and safety of care delivered here.

As a CQC-registered healthcare provider, Three Valleys Hospital operates under the regulatory framework that governs health and social care in England. Registration is not a formality: it means the provider has satisfied the Care Quality Commission that its premises, staffing, clinical governance and safeguarding arrangements meet the fundamental standards of safe care. Providers must nominate a registered manager who is legally accountable for the quality of the service, and they remain subject to inspection and enforcement for as long as they trade.

Healthcare services in the UK range from large NHS-commissioned organisations to small independent practices, and the mix matters when you are choosing where to be seen. Independent providers often offer shorter waiting times and extended hours, while NHS-commissioned services are free at the point of use. Many providers, including practices like Three Valleys Hospital, serve both routes — so it is always worth asking how you can access care and what each route involves before you book.

Administratively, the service falls under Bradford, within the Yorkshire & Humberside region, in a city with 62 registered healthcare providers of all types. That local footprint matters for social-care funding and community-service referrals, both of which are organised at local-authority level.

The CQC's most recent recorded check of this location took place on 13 January 2025. Inspection reports are public documents, and the official record for this location is linked in the registration section below — reading the latest report is the single most reliable way to understand how the service performs day to day.

The Care Quality Commission records the population groups each provider is registered to care for. These declarations shape staffing, training and premises requirements, so they are a reliable indicator of what the service is genuinely set up to do. For Three Valleys Hospital, the register lists the following care groups:

Caring for adults under 65 yrs

Registration for working-age adults signals a service oriented around different goals than elderly care: maintaining employment and family roles, rehabilitation and independence, and care plans built around an active life rather than primarily around frailty management.

Dementia

A dementia registration means the provider has declared — and is inspected on — specific competence in dementia care: staff trained in communication and distress-reduction techniques, environments designed to reduce confusion, consistent staffing to preserve familiarity, and lawful use of the Mental Capacity Act when decisions must be made for someone who cannot make them alone.

Mental health conditions

This registration covers support for people living with mental illness — from anxiety and depression through severe and enduring conditions. Expect staff trained in mental health, risk assessment and crisis planning, and joint working with community mental health teams and, where relevant, the Mental Health Act framework.

Caring for adults over 65 yrs

The service is registered to care for older adults, which carries practical expectations: staff trained in frailty, falls prevention and pressure-area care; environments that accommodate reduced mobility; and care planning that accounts for multiple long-term conditions and polypharmacy — the norm rather than the exception over 65.

Caring for people whose rights are restricted under the Mental Health Act

This provider is registered to care for people detained or otherwise subject to restrictions under the Mental Health Act. That entails specific legal duties — statutory paperwork, second-opinion safeguards, independent advocacy access — and CQC monitors these providers under its dual role as care regulator and Mental Health Act monitor.

When comparing providers, match the declaration to your actual situation rather than to the longest list: a service registered for exactly your needs, with depth in them, generally serves you better than one registered for everything. If your circumstances span two groups — say, a physical disability alongside a mental health condition — ask specifically how the service coordinates both, because that intersection is where care plans most often fall short.

Treat these declarations as the service's public promise — inspectors check against them, and you are entitled to ask exactly how each one shows up in staffing and daily practice.

This reflects the standard service range of a healthcare provider; Three Valleys Hospital will confirm which of these are offered on site and which are arranged by referral.

Initial assessment

A structured first appointment covering your history, current concerns and goals, used to plan ongoing care or refer you to a more suitable service.

Ongoing treatment and reviews

Scheduled follow-up appointments that track your progress against the care plan and adjust treatment where needed.

Health advice and signposting

Guidance on managing your condition day to day, plus referrals into NHS or specialist pathways when your needs go beyond the service's scope.

Care planning

A documented plan agreed with you (and family or carers where appropriate) setting out what care is delivered, by whom, and how often it is reviewed.

Safeguarding and advocacy support

All CQC-registered providers must operate safeguarding procedures and can connect you with advocacy services if you need support making decisions.

To contact Three Valleys Hospital directly, call 01535657350 or use the enquiry route on its website (linked in the contact section above).

The quickest way to arrange care with Three Valleys Hospital is to telephone the service directly — phone lines are usually the fastest route to a real diary, and the team can tell you immediately whether they are taking new patients, what information they need, and how soon you can be seen. If the provider runs a website, look for an online enquiry or booking form; these are typically answered within one working day.

Before you call, have three things to hand: your NHS number if you know it (it is on any NHS letter or prescription), a list of current medications, and a short summary of what you need — new assessment, ongoing care, or a second opinion. If you are enquiring for a relative, be ready to explain your relationship and whether you hold power of attorney, as data-protection rules limit what a provider can discuss without the patient's consent.

If your care may be NHS-funded, speak to your GP practice first: many services accept patients via GP referral, and a referral letter travels with your medical history, which speeds up triage at the receiving end. For privately funded care you can normally self-refer — ask for the service's current fee schedule and cancellation policy in writing before your first appointment.

Published opening hours for Three Valleys Hospital are not yet held on this profile — the register does not record them, and hours appear here once the provider claims and completes its listing. A quick phone call (01535657350) remains the definitive check, and it is worth making even where hours are published, since bank holidays and staffing can change a given day.

Timing your contact helps: midweek, mid-morning calls typically reach a human fastest, while Monday mornings — when the weekend's queries land all at once — are the hardest time to get through to any healthcare service.

Whatever brings you to a healthcare provider, the first appointment covers similar ground — and ten minutes of preparation makes it substantially more useful.

Bring the paperwork that saves repeating yourself: a list of current medications with doses (a photo of the boxes works), any relevant hospital letters or test results, your NHS number if you know it, and glasses or hearing aids if you use them. If the appointment concerns someone you care for, bring evidence of any legal authority you hold — power of attorney documents change what staff can lawfully discuss with you.

Expect the first appointment to include identity and history checks, a discussion of what you need, and an examination or assessment appropriate to the service. Be direct about two things in particular: everything you are taking (including over-the-counter and herbal products), and what outcome you actually want — clinicians plan differently for "I want to be seen quickly" versus "I want the most thorough option".

Before you leave, make sure three questions have answers: what happens next, who does it, and when. Vague follow-up arrangements are where care most often goes adrift; a specific next step — a booked review, a named referral, a results date with a way to chase it — is the mark of a well-run service, and it is entirely reasonable to ask for it explicitly.

Costs depend on how you access the service. NHS-commissioned care is free at the point of use, though waiting times vary by area and specialty. Private care is paid either directly (self-pay) or through medical insurance — if you hold a policy, contact your insurer for pre-authorisation before booking, as most insurers require an authorisation number and some restrict which providers you can use.

For self-pay patients, reputable providers publish or supply on request a clear fee schedule covering the initial consultation, follow-ups and common procedures. Ask specifically about what is included: some quotes cover the consultation only, while others bundle diagnostics or aftercare. UK consumer law entitles you to transparent pricing before you commit to treatment.

You will find Three Valleys Hospital at 2 Burley Court,Steeton,Keighley. The BD20 6TU postcode places it in the BD20 district of Keighley, and entering the full postcode into a sat-nav or maps app will route you precisely — or use the Google Maps link for this exact location.

Planning the journey is worth two minutes at booking time: ask whether parking is available on site or nearby if driving, and use the postcode in any journey planner for buses and trains. If you have mobility needs, say so when booking — services can advise on step-free access and the nearest accessible parking or drop-off point.

A note on catchment: some services (particularly NHS-commissioned ones) serve defined areas, so confirm when booking that your address falls within scope. Self-funded and independent services rarely restrict by geography — there, the only catchment question is how far you are willing to travel, repeatedly, for the care involved.

Anyone with access requirements — mobility, sensory or communication — should mention them at booking. Registered providers are legally required to make reasonable adjustments, and doing so is routine when the service knows before you arrive.

The right questions do more than fill an appointment — they reveal how a healthcare provider thinks. These are the ones that earn their place:

1. Who exactly will provide my care, and what is their professional registration?
2. What are the realistic timescales — first appointment, results, and treatment?
3. What will this cost in total, and what could add to that figure later?
4. What are the alternatives, including doing nothing for now?
5. How do you handle problems out of hours, and who do I contact?
6. What should I expect to feel or notice afterwards, and what would be a warning sign?
7. How will you keep my GP informed, and what gets written to my record?
8. If my needs change, how quickly can the plan change with them?

Write the answers down during the conversation — comparing them across two or three providers turns an anxious choice into an informed one.

CQC registration is the legal baseline for operating a service like this one; the value for you sits in the public record built on top of it — inspection reports, ratings and enforcement history.

The CQC inspects against five questions — is the service safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led — and publishes its findings. For Three Valleys Hospital, the registered provider is Elysium Healthcare No. 4 Limited. The most recent recorded check took place on 13 January 2025. The official CQC record for this location carries the current registration status, ratings where awarded, and every published inspection report.

The rating scale runs Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, Inadequate — and context matters when reading it. Good is the expected standard, not a consolation prize; Outstanding is genuinely rare and usually reflects exceptional leadership culture rather than better equipment. A Requires Improvement rating deserves a closer look at which of the five questions dragged it down: a responsive shortfall (waiting times, complaint handling) is a different risk from a safe shortfall (medicines, staffing). Some location types are inspected without ratings at all, so an unrated service is not a warning sign in itself.

Reading a report efficiently: start with the well-led section (it predicts everything else), then safe. Look at the direction of travel across the last two inspections rather than a single snapshot, and treat "requires improvement" with a credible action plan differently from the same rating with repeated findings. If anything in a report concerns you, raising it with the service directly is both fair and revealing — well-run providers answer plainly.

Every patient of a CQC-registered service holds a set of enforceable rights, and knowing them changes how confidently you can act when something is not right.

You are entitled to informed consent — a genuine explanation of options, risks and alternatives before treatment, in language you understand, with interpreters provided where needed. You have a right of access to your own records under UK GDPR, free of charge in most cases, within a month of asking. And under the Equality Act, providers must make reasonable adjustments for disability — from step-free access to communication formats — as a legal duty, not a favour.

If care falls short, complain in stages: first to the provider itself (every registered service must operate an accessible complaints procedure and respond within a defined timescale); then, for NHS-funded care, to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman — or for privately funded care, to the Independent Sector Complaints Adjudication Service where the provider subscribes. Local authority-funded social care complaints escalate to the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman.

Two further channels matter. The CQC does not investigate individual complaints, but it wants to hear about poor care — reports feed directly into inspection planning, and you can tell it anything in confidence via its website. And if you need help making a complaint about NHS care, every area has a statutory independent advocacy service that is free to use; your council can point you to the current provider.

Keighley has 62 CQC-registered healthcare providers in total, of which 2 are healthcare providers — so genuine comparison is possible before you commit. The full Keighley directory and the local hospitals - mental health/capacity listing let you shortlist alongside this profile.

When comparing the 2 providers of this type in Keighley, three checks separate a confident choice from a gamble. First, read the provider's most recent CQC inspection report — not just the headline rating but the safe and well-led sections, which reveal how the service actually runs. Second, confirm practical fit: opening hours, accessibility, and whether the location works for repeat visits. Third, ring the service and ask your specific questions; how a provider handles a first phone call tells you a great deal about how it treats its patients.
