Catalysing healthtech innovation
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?
Leeds Centre for Personalised Medicine and Health
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 Academy at the forefront of learning, with a portfolio based on world-leading evidence and research.
Innovation is more crucial now than ever but, to be truly effective, it must include everyone. Dr Liz Mear explores the challenges and opportunities of this unique time.
Research into frailty enables personalised care for older people
Professor Andy Clegg explains how his research is helping slow down frailty, enabling people to live healthier for longer and bring greater efficiencies for health and care services.
Leaving with pride, arriving with drive, vision and insight
After seven and a half productive and happy years at the Innovation Agency, I am moving on to be the Managing Director of Leeds Academic Health Partnership. This is a similar role to my current one and I applied for it as I have a passion for working in collaboration with partners to achieve better health and well-being for the people we serve.
Leeds’ people to help our city be research-ready
At NHS Leeds Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), we organise NHS services for the city. We work with 97 GP practices serving around 870,000 people. Those services are for everyone, in all our communities. But life is not the same for everyone. As with most big cities, there are health inequalities in Leeds and many reasons for those inequalities.
As Jo-Anne Wass prepares to step down as chief operating officer for Leeds Academic Health Partnership, she reflects on the fascinating challenge and achievements of the last five years.
