Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust provides high quality community healthcare to the people of Leeds, working in partnership with other organisations and groups,. Paediatric Teaching in West Yorkshire is highly regarded, including the undergraduate paediatric course, and the postgraduate MSc and STEPP courses. We have several academic training posts, including two Academic Clinical Fellowships. We benefit from strong links with colleagues across Yorkshire, and the Medicines for Children Research Network expansion, which now includes Leeds and Yorkshire.
