Leeds Teaching Hospital Trust's Health Equity & Public Health Strategy 2025-2028
Building on the principles and replacing our Health Inequalities & Public Health Strategy that was published in 2022.
Our strategy defines how we will embed equity at the heart of everything we do and maximise our contribution to improving health equity in the populations we serve. We are committed to tackling health inequalities through our role as a provider of clinical services, as an anchor institution and as a partner in the wider health and care system. Our NHS constitution says we have a “duty to promote equality through the services we provide and to pay particular attention to groups or sections of society where improvements in health and life expectancy are not keeping pace with the rest of the population”.
Fairness is a core value of LTHT. Being fair, removing barriers to access, being inclusive and accepting that some people need more help, is fundamental to how we deliver care.
