Personalised medicine and health hold the key to transforming the quality of clinical outcomes for patients, their experiences of health and care, and service efficiency. We’ve established the Leeds Centre for Personalised Medicine and Health, enabling Leeds people to benefit from the latest innovations, treatments and technologies.
In a pioneering approach, we’re developing ‘one Leeds workforce’ across the health and care sector. The vision is that through our new Leeds Health and Care Academy, around 57,000 staff will have the best skills founded upon the best research and evidence, to care for the people of Leeds. Ultimately it will enable them to offer Leeds people a more seamless experience of health and care services.
