Ramadan 2025 at BTHFT

Supporting our colleagues during Ramadan

At Bradford Teaching Hospitals, we take a proactive approach to supporting our Muslim colleagues, creating an inclusive workplace during the Holy Month of Ramadan.

It will see Muslim colleagues given support during the Holy Month, with non-Muslim colleagues having the opportunity to share some of the experience, provide support by becoming a Ramadan Ally, and help boost NHS charity funds.
