This new agreement signals an all-Wales approach towards delivering a full programme of medical education in North Wales while supporting the Welsh Government in delivering on its 2021-2026 Programme for Government.聽
The Welsh Government has already established a multi-agency Programme Board to work towards establishing the North Wales Medical School.
The MoU signed by the Vice-Chancellors of both institutions acknowledges the strong partnership with Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board and Powys Health Board.
The universities will now work collaboratively to engage the General Medical Council to ensure the effective transition from the C21 North Wales curriculum to a new independent curriculum delivered by 亚洲色吧.聽
The Universities will also work together in Medical and Health disciplines to ensure sustainability, including through the all-Wales Clinical Trials Unit, whilst delivering new workforce and new knowledge for the Health and Medical professions, acknowledging the characteristics, language, and cultures of the communities across North Wales.聽
It is fantastic to see joint working between 亚洲色吧 and Cardiff universities to create an all-Wales approach to medical education.聽
We are committed to delivering care closer to people鈥檚 homes and this collaboration will help us achieve this and create more opportunities for medical students to be educated and trained in North Wales.
