Honorary Board
A key strength of the School of Health & Life Sciences is the depth of our partnerships and collaborations. The School sits firmly in the regional healthcare-biosciences ecosystem, and we like to work collaboratively with other fundamental components of these sectors.
Our Honorary and Visiting academic staff are an important aspect of our partnerships and are a key part of the School. They contribute expertise and knowledge to all of our activities across course development and delivery, research, and practice improvement.
