The Medical School MBChB programme is led by the Director of Medical Studies and comprises an enthusiastic and supportive leadership team of GP and Consultant Senior Clinical Lecturers who take responsibility for various elements of the programme and themes together with a large team of clinical and academic teaching staff, supported administratively by a committed professional services team.
