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.

As with most big cities, there are health inequalities in Leeds and many reasons for those inequalities.

Professor Rory O’Connor, Faculty of Medicine and Health Pro-Dean for Research and Innovation at the University of Leeds explains how it works.
