This includes St James's University Hospital, Leeds General Infirmary, Leeds Children's Hospital, Leeds Dental Institute, Chapel Allerton Hospital, Seacroft Hospital and Wharfedale Hospital.

We’re proud to share that the British Heart Foundation has awarded funding to a Leeds-based project aiming to improve understanding of the links between Type 2 Diabetes and heart failure. This initiative will help tackle the growing challenge of heart failure, which is often worsened by metabolic diseases like diabetes. Bringing together experts from the Trust, the University of Leeds, and NIHR partners, this collaborative research will enhance diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes for cardiometabolic diseases. Professor Philip Wood, Chief Executive, LTHT, said: 📢 “This funding is a significant step forward in translating cutting-edge research into real-world clinical improvements, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes and reducing health inequalities across Leeds and West Yorkshire.” #HeartHealth #DiabetesResearch #BHF #LTHT #LeedsResearch
