New facility offers training synergy

The training of doctors and other healthcare professionals looks set to be transformed with the launch of the country’s newest post-graduate medical school by Chief Medical Officer, Sir Liam Donaldson, in June 2005.

Initially aimed at NHS professionals and recent graduates, the new post-graduate school, created by the universities of Hertfordshire, Cranfield and Luton, will offer an important opportunity for healthcare professionals to train side-by-side on courses offering “inter professional synergy”. The synergy created by the courses offered by the three universities will ensure staff are better informed about their colleagues’ roles, are able to share information and expertise on a regular basis and access a significant part of their personal development and Continuing Medical Education. Professor Duncan Empey, dean of the post-graduate medical school commented: “This is an exciting day for NHS professionals, future graduates and the universities involved in the school and, of course, patients who will benefit from better care in the future as a result of this initiative.”
