Hull York Medical School

Hull York Medical School is a partnership between the universities of Hull and York. It works across both university campuses and with NHS and community health providers to deliver exceptional medical education - centred on problem based learning, clinical and communication skills and early and sustained clinical exposure. The School's impact goes beyond teaching and learning and extends to research, which has discovery and innovation at its heart. The School's world leading experts are advancing improvements in healthcare - diagnosis, treatment and care - and over 85% of this research is world leading or internationally excellent. At Hull, our research is transforming the lives of those patients with life limiting conditions with the recently opened £2.4 million Wolfson Palliative Care Research Centre at the University of Hull providing a home to our world leading research in this area. Our researchers are also impacting the way cancer is diagnosed, understood and treated at a local and national level - encouraging early diagnosis and reducing inequalities in access to treatment. At York, our researchers have a global reputation for their work. From scientific discoveries that underpin the development, diagnosis and treatment of the world's most aggressive diseases, to mental health research which addresses the needs of a wider variety of patients and helps to identify, treat and support them, this work is casting new light and impacting global public health. This research is improving the lives of patients locally and regionally as well as impacting national and international health agendas.
