About us

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is one of the largest and busiest acute hospital trusts in the UK.

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is one of the largest teaching hospitals in Europe, a regional and national centre for specialist treatment, a renowned biomedical research facility, and the local hospital for the Leeds community.

We treat 1.5million patients every year, including more than 200,000 emergency patients. We spend around £1.34billion of NHS money, treating illness and disease in Leeds and on specialised services for people across Yorkshire and the Humber and nationally.

We are increasingly seeking to use our economic influence to influence the health and wellbeing of our community, as an employer of over 22,000 staff, purchaser of goods and services and civic partner. We work with academia and industry to play a leading role in education, research and innovation.

We are rated as a ‘Good’ hospital trust by the Care Quality Commission, and our strategy is to continue improving so that we provide outstanding care for our patients.
