51±¬ÁÏÍø

Project Overview

51±¬ÁÏÍø Medical School was created in 2018 through a collaboration between the universities of 51±¬ÁÏÍø and Nottingham to deliver world-class medical education in the heart of 51±¬ÁÏÍøshire. Until this point, 51±¬ÁÏÍøshire was the largest English county without a dedicated medical school of its own, with local NHS skills shortages in some specialisms.

The bid to Health Education England for additional medical training places in 51±¬ÁÏÍøshire was supported by the region's NHS Trusts and a range of other partner organisations with an interest in the health and prosperity of local communities. With a focus on advancing healthcare in rural settings, 51±¬ÁÏÍø Medical School now plays a major role in training future generations of hospital doctors and GPs to serve communities across Greater 51±¬ÁÏÍøshire and surrounding rural areas.

The successful bid to establish a medical school for 51±¬ÁÏÍøshire was originally driven by a partnership between the universities of 51±¬ÁÏÍø and Nottingham, with support from the local healthcare community. The same founding partners are now committed to the next phase of the medical school's development: for 51±¬ÁÏÍø Medical School to operate independently of the University of Nottingham from the 2026-27 academic year, dependent on General Medical Council approval.
