Over the last ten years there have been significant improvements in health. For example life expectancy in Leeds has increased by two years for both men and women.  However there is still much work to do.

NHS Leeds is an ambitious organisation committed to adding years to life and life to years for the people of Leeds. NHS Leeds has a clear vision “To improve health and wellbeing, reduce inequalities and transform health services for the people of Leeds by working with others and being a leading edge organisation”.

On these pages you will find information on the key areas of public health.  These include smoking, sexual health, mental health, alcohol, obesity, screening and many others. You can also use this section to sign a pledge to make your home smokefree or sign up to a cookery course at Jamie's Ministry of Food Leeds.  

You will see how these areas are being tackled in Leeds, what we are doing to combat certain issues, and how you can get in contact with us or find out more information.
