Medical Degree students using a model skeleton

Training the next generation of doctors

Location: Rosalind Franklin West Building

Our medical education facilities are in the newly refurbished Rosalind Franklin West building. You'll have access to a large multi-purpose space for clinical teaching, 6 clinical skills rooms, 6 rooms for case-based learning, and a social hub where you can connect with other students.

Our AV Learning Management System lets you record practical sessions, making it easier to review and learn from your peers. You'll also work with a variety of manikins representing different ages and ethnicities to practice your clinical skills.

You'll find a collection of anatomical models and part-task trainers to support your learning. Plus, our virtual dissection tables allow you to explore anatomy just as you would in real-life scenarios.
