Working in healthcare as a doctor, radiographer, advanced paramedic or as a scientist is a challenging but extremely rewarding career. As current or future practitioners of healthcare, it is our great privilage to serve patients and society, and here at the School we continually remind our students of the great responsibility that goes along with a career in medicine, radiography or biomedical science

I am extremely proud to lead a medical school which is internationally renowned and one that has improved and shaped healthcare across the globe.  I salute the talent and dedication of our staff, the hard work and success of our students and the rich medical and scientific legacy provided by our graduates.  This school has trained the brightest and best for over 150 years, and we remain driven by the pursuit of excellence, innovation and scientific discovery.
