The skyline of Leeds city centre, photographed on a bright day. There are modern blocks of flats and office buildings, the river, tall Bridgewater Place, Kirkate Markets and Leeds Minster, with hills beyond. It looks pretty good in the sunshine!

We have used information and ideas from people who currently use or have used community mental health services, their carers, our staff and voluntary and community organisations to understand what changes need to be made and the best way to make them. The result is a new model of community mental health care and support for Leeds.

During March 2024, we introduced this new model in three areas of Leeds.

  • West Leeds (served by West Leeds Primary Care Network – PCN)
  • HATCH (served by Burmantofts, Harehills and Richmond Hill PCN and Chapeltown PCN)
  • Leeds Student Medical Practice (LSMP) and The Light PCN

If you live outside of these areas, we will continue to provide services and support as currently available.

We will be collecting feedback from people who use the new model, their carers and our staff before we extend it across the rest of the city during 2024 – 2025.
