The Obesity Institute

The Obesity Institute at Leeds Beckett University brings together academics from a range of disciplines across the university with policy makers, practitioners, and people living with or at risk of obesity and their families and carers, to coproduce innovative person-centred advances in obesity locally, nationally and internationally.

Research project

The complications of excess weight

Staff at Leeds Beckett University are part of a national team evaluating the NHS England Complications of Excess Weight (CEW) clinics. These clinics run across England and provide a holistic approach to treating conditions related to obesity in children and young people aged up to 18.

Edition 4 - Summer 2024
  1. Inclusion and collaboration

    All our activities are co-developed with people with lived experience, working in collaboration with key policy, practice and academic partners to ensure everything we do is person-centred and addresses real world need. We continually seek to improve and promote representation, equality, diversity and inclusion.

  2. Integrity and transparency

    We foster a culture of openness, compassion and collaboration within our community, and support the rights of academic freedoms by building a community that tests received wisdom and puts forward new ideas.

  3. Excellence and innovation

    We are building on our excellence in applied obesity research and education, and seek to excite and inspire the public, our students and colleagues, with disruptive and ground-breaking research, innovation and practice.
