A time to reflect, refine and realign
Reducing health inequalities, tackling climate change and addressing the manifold pressures exacerbated by the pandemic have all come into sharper than ever focus over the last 18 months.
Population health is inextricably linked to population wealth. The Leeds City Region’s world-leading concentration of excellence in healthtech positions it perfectly to capitalise on what is a globally burgeoning market.
Transforming palliative and end-of-life care
We develop innovations by linking work across our partners. To transform palliative and end-of-life care in Leeds, we’ve linked and supported Leeds Beckett University’s work with the Leeds Palliative Care Network and 100 stakeholders to understand how to achieve this.
Whenever we use health and care services, the people who care for us record information – or data – about us. This helps them provide that care in the best possible ways. But how else can we use that data in ways that benefit the people of Leeds?
Personalised medicine and health means taking a closer look at a person’s unique biology and tailoring healthcare to meet their individual needs more effectively. It moves away from the more conventional ‘one size fits all’ approach.
The involvement of our universities will position the Leeds Health and Care Academy at the forefront of learning, with a portfolio based on world-leading evidence and research.
