Welcome to Your Healthwatch Leeds
Long term condition study
The University and NHS want to hear from people with long-term conditions or their carers about their support and treatment. Do you live in or have a GP surgery in Burmantofts, Harehills, Chapeltown, Richmond Hill, Seacroft, Farsley, Pudsey, Bramley or Calverley?
You must also have one or more of the following conditions:
- Heart Disease
- Diabetes
- Chronic Kidney Disease
- Poor mental health.
Participants will receive a £25 voucher for taking part. Get in touch to join.
Community mental health
We spoke to 287 people across inner west and south Leeds about their views on how they want to see Community Mental Health Services.
We found that location has a big impact on people's mental health, especially if they do not feel safe, and that many people wouldn't want to ask for support over the telephone.
We produced a report which summarises what people told us. People's feedback will be used to develop the running of community mental health services going forward.

Where to go for NHS Audiology
Many people have recently contacted us raising concerns about Specsavers Audiology Service being no longer offered from 01 April 2024.
There has been a lot of confusion among recipients as to where they can go to continue to receive audiology treatment and support on the NHS.
We have created an article to advise people on where to go for NHS Audiology.

Volunteering with us
We don’t have a fixed idea of who will want to help us out, but if you agree with our vision and values – we’ll try and work something out with you.
We will always try to match the role to where your interests are.
We want volunteering to reflect your interests and your ideas about how we can help to improve health and social care systems in Leeds.
