Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is an NHS hospital trust in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.
The Trust was formed in April 1998 after the merger of two previous smaller NHS trusts to form one city-wide organisation. The former trusts were United Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (based at Leeds General Infirmary) and St James's & Seacroft University Hospitals NHS Trust (based at St James's University Hospital).
It provides services for the population of Leeds and surrounding areas, and is a regional centre for a range of services including cancer, neurosurgery, heart surgery, liver and kidney transplantation. It is the largest NHS trust in the United Kingdom (technically NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is the largest[1] territorial NHS provider but is not a 'trust'), and employs over 14,000 staff on six main sites.
It runs six hospitals:
- Chapel Allerton Hospital
- Leeds Dental Institute
- Leeds General Infirmary
- St James's University Hospital
- Seacroft Hospital
- Wharfedale Hospital
