Whatever you need - dentists, doctors, opticians, pharmacists - Dom Dwight shows you’re in good hands in Leeds

Leeds is a major medical centre; Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is the largest of its kind in the UK, a world leader in cancer care and one of the biggest centres for cardiac and liver care in Europe.

But whatever your health needs, Leeds is likely to offer a world-class service.
Leeds has the biggest community health programme in England, with a network of facilities providing access to GPs, dentists, pharmacists and other local professionals. And with six hospitals in the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, two offering A&E and one offering a minor injuries service, the people of Leeds can rest assured they are well provided for.

The recent merging of Leeds’ two hospital trusts, St James’ University Hospital NHS Trust and the United Leeds Hospitals Trust, has resulted in further world-class medical services for the city. Similarly, investment has been ploughed into the Children’s and Maternity Hospital and St James’ oncology centre.
The Leeds Dental Institute — a national award-winning centre for care and research — helps the city to provide a very high level of dental care, and some of the city’s 274 NHS dentists are still taking new patients.

Financial help with medical costs is available from Leeds-based mutual LHF Healthplan. It has been caring for the health of Leeds folk for years now, helping businesses cover their employees’ health costs since 1887.

As well as exceptional NHS facilities, private medical insurance is well taken care of in Leeds. Based in the city centre, the 80-bed Nuffield Hospital Leeds is one of the most technically advanced private hospitals in Europe and houses six major operating theatres. You'll also find two BUPA hospitals in the city.

With advancements constantly being made at the city’s institutes and hospitals, Leeds is in great shape.
